The odds are quite good that somewhere around you right now as you listen to me speak these words, is a battery. 

Whether it is in your smartphone, earbuds, automobile, smoke detector, or laptop, batteries have become ubiquitous in the modern world. 

The origins of chemical batteries go back thousands of years before people knew what electricity was or what they could do with it. The future of batteries looks even brighter as more devices will require more and better batteries.

Learn more about batteries, how they work, and how they have developed over time on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
