Who invented the batteries?

I just use a torchlights the other day, and i was wondering, who invented the torchlights. and who invented the batteries?

Iron is a pure element; it cannot be broken down any further, except into subatomic particles. It has 28 protons, 28 electrons, and anywhere from 20 neutrons to 57 neutrons.
2000 was the 201th anniversary of the invention of the battery by Alessandro Volta.
Alessandro Volta invented the batteries.
Flashlight (usually called a torch outside North America): In 1896, the first dry cell battery was invented. Unlike previous batteries, it used a paste electrolyte instead of a liquid. This was the first battery suitable for portable electrical devices, as it did not spill or break easily and worked in any orientation. On January 10, 1899, American Electrical Novelty and Manufacturing Company obtained U.S. Patent No. 617,592 (filed 12 March 1898) from David Misell, its English inventor. This electric device designed by Misell was powered by D batteries laid front to back in a paper tube with the light bulb and a rough brass reflector at the end. The company donated some of these devices to the New York City police, who responded favorably to them. These early flashlights ran on zinc–carbon batteries, which could not provide a steady electric current and required periodic 'rest' to continue functioning. Because these early flashlights also used energy-inefficient carbon-filament bulbs, resting occurred at short intervals. Consequently, they could be used only in brief flashes, hence the popular name flashlight. Battery: Strictly, a battery is a collection of multiple electrochemical cells, but in popular usage battery often refers to a single cell. The first electrochemical cell was developed by by the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta in 1792, and in 1800 he invented the first battery -- for him, a pile of cells. The usage of battery to describe electrical devices dates to Benjamin Franklin, who in 1748 described multiple Leyden jars (early electrical capacitors) by analogy to an battery of cannons. Thus Franklin's usage to describe multiple Leyden jars predated Volta's use of multiple galvanic cells. It is speculated, but not established, that several ancient artifacts consisting of copper sheets and iron bars, and known as Baghdad batteries may have been galvanic cells.
