Waldemar Jungner
Person
Developing the nickel-cadmium cell
Jungner patented work on rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries around the turn of the 20th century. He and K. L. Berg reached pilot production for applications such as standby service. This is a useful stop in the story because it shows an alternative to lead-acid taking shape in the factory as well as in patents.
