Lithium Battery Inventor

Lewis Frederick Urry was a Canadian chemical engineer and inventor. Born on 29th January 1927. He invented both the alkaline battery and lithium battery In order to sell the idea to his managers, Urry put the battery in a toy car and raced it round the canteen against a similar car with one of the older batteries. His new invention had many times the durability, and Eveready began production of Urry's design in 1959. In 1999 Urry gave his first prototype battery, along with the first commercially produced cylindrical battery, to the Smithsonian institution. Both cells are now displayed in the same room as Edison's LightBulb. - Amit Shrivastava
