Who invented the electric battery?

Alessandro Volta invented the first battery called a voltaic pile made of two dissimilar metal plates in a brine solution in 1800.The first practical battery was developed using the Leyden jar. The Leyden jar was invented in 1745 by both Ewald Georg von Kleist and Pieter van Musschenbroek. The Leyden jar was a single cell electrical storage device. A battery requires 2 or more cells to be called a battery. In 1745, multiple Leyden jars were connected, thus creating the first battery.
