Description |
This is a nickel-cadmium secondary battery. A secondary battery must be charged after it is constructed and can be recharged. The Edison Storage Battery Company was organized in New Jersey on May 27, 1901, to develop, manufacture, and sell Edison's alkaline storage battery. It produced batteries for mining lamps, train lighting and signaling, submarines, electric vehicles, and other uses. The company had its own research department and sales force. The Edison Storage Battery Company also sold batteries through separate sales companies, including the Edison Storage Battery Supply Company and Miller Reese Hutchison Inc. On June 30, 1932, the company ended its legal existence and became the Storage Battery Division of Thomas A. Edison, Inc. The division was sold to the Electric Storage Battery Company (now Exide Technologies) on July 20, 1960. |
