Fantastically enough, Alessandro Volta, had a little something to do with today's volt battery. From 1745 to 1827, Volta was a man of science, a mind melded by physics and was fascinated with and greatly impacted electricity. In 1800, he created the voltaic pile, an early prototype of the modern-day battery. He arranged several disks of two different metals in a pattern where they would opposite of each other. He then separated each disk with pads moistened by an electrolyte. This opposition of metals (poles) soon created an electric charge. You can see this is still represented on the labels on all batteries with a + or a - at opposite ends. After all, the old adage of "Opposites attract..." had to come from somewhere.

What battery related experiment did volta conduct?

Allesandro Volta made an alternating stack of silver coins and leather discs soaked in a strong salt solution to make a battery of cells. It is known as Volta's pile. You can do the same today using coins and kitchen paper and you can generate enough electrical current to make a Light emitting diode (LED)glow.
