I'm talking about books from the 1930's and 40's.Triffid

I found one of my books with the lead battery and edison battery cut -away views.Its an electrical book,not electronics like I thought.It's;
"Fundamentals of Electricity" by Kennard C. Graham,E.E.
Fifth Edition cc1968
first edition was 1943.
A fact it mentions about the edision battery was that it could be frozen solid
and once thawed again it would be ok.Triffid

I found a simple storage cell experiment in an old book.Auto lead battery.Apparatus:two lead plates,about 4 inches square;dilute sulfuric acid;insulated wire;battery jar.You should have enough info from this to go further if you want to.Always practice lab safety,wear safety glasses when working with acids.I have found no simple experiments for edison batteries.The electrodes are not so simple.The positive plate consists of nickel plated,perforated iron tubes filled with nickel flake and hydrated nickel oxide.The negative plate consists of nickel-plated,perforated iron cells or pockets filled with iron oxide.The electrolyte is potassium hydroxide.Some other facts about edision cells are they can be completely discharged and suffer no damage.They can also last 100 years so if you run across some anywhere.Buy them!Triffid

The edison battery is half the weight of the lead battery.And the maximum voltage of the edison cell is about 1.25 volts so it takes 5 edison cells in series to furnish the same volage as 3 lead cells in series.Triffid

hello,
sorry if i am post this in the wrong area but i thought since choride is a form of salt it may fit here
but when i was younger i made a big battery from cooking oil and pool chlorine in a pvc pipe but a warning in here also that it may built pressure if heat is a issue in your area above 70-80 degrees
i live in north carolina (good weather here) but this battery give very good result but not permament.. it was a 8-13 month battery at 8 vdc it was strong enough to power small dc motors, small light bulbs like flash light blubs i used small copper tubing for + and alum for - of course
it was a mountain dew can... sand the the inside cause its coated
but the oil seemed to keep the metal for decaying.. i could put more chlorine in the rig to charge it back up...
it  still need more testing but i have strayed away ... to study the hendershot and sm tpu,,,
hope this helps if anyone interested
