It is, therefore, altogether erroneous to call an apparatus,made as the so-called storage battery is made, a storage batteryor accumulator, or to speak of stored electricity at all underthese circumstances. There occurs, as far as we know, nostorage of electricity whatever in this or in similar cases; in-deed no electrification can be observed in the plates of which thebattery is composed. In other words, the storage cell has.
