Gaston Planté was a French engineer and inventor, best known for creating the first rechargeable lead-acid battery in 1859. His invention laid the foundation for modern battery technology. The Planté battery featured lead electrodes and sulfuric acid as the electrolyte, which allowed it to be recharged and reused multiple times, unlike the primary (non-rechargeable) batteries that were available at the time.
