"Batteries: Powering the Past, Present, and Future" From Robert Lindsay at Alma to the Charge of the Light Brigade during the Battle of Balaclava in 1854, they have played a crucial role in history. Just like the Voltaic Pile harnessed electricity, these portable powerhouses have shaped our world. As depicted by artist Hayes in his masterpiece, batteries powered not only wars but also everyday life. From Exide's Long Life Car Battery poster to LCC-LFB battery-electric pump-escape at Southwark HQ, their reliability has been trusted for generations. Even cardboard advertising signs proudly displayed Exide Batteries' prowess. "Batteries Charged Here" signs were a common sight as people relied on them for essential devices and vehicles. The LCC-LFB at Cannon Street fire station protected City of London with its dependable battery-powered equipment. But they can not limited to earthly battles; they even aided Malta during the Siege of Turks in July 1565 and endured through The Bombardment of Odessa. Their enduring energy source knows no bounds. Today, we continue to rely on batteries for countless applications – from powering our smartphones to electric cars revolutionizing transportation. With advancements like lithium-ion technology and sustainable alternatives emerging, they can paving the way towards a greener future. So next time you use your phone or drive an electric vehicle powered by an Exide long-life battery, remember that these small yet mighty devices have come a long way since Robert Lindsay fought at Alma or when soldiers bravely charged into battle during Balaclava. Batteries: silent heroes empowering us throughout history and propelling us forward into an electrifying future.
