Best Answer

The ancient Greeks new about static electricity and lode stones. The Leyden jar (a type of battery) was not developed until the Renaissance time. There are claims the Babylonians had batteries, but these claims lack good evidence. No texts detailing potential uses for which such devices may have been used exist. The Babylonian "batteries" could be a hoax or a misinterpretation of the evidence.
