they could be all different people for all i knowWho was the first person to discover electricity, learn how to apply electricity %26amp; make electricity avaliable?
The Ancient Egyptians and Babylonians had batteries,
they just didn't know IPods would take so long to to come along...
Imagine how annoyed they would have been if they had got the IPods first and no batteries....

Impossible to say.
Static electricity was certainly known to the Ancient Greeks. The Greek word for amber - a substance known for its ability to charge statically - is electron, and the name has stuck. It is from this we get the term electricity itself. The first known mention was by Theophrastus in the 4th dentury BCE, though it is unlikely he made the discovery.
The first real attempt to store static charge was in 1745 by Pieter van Musschenbroek with the Leiden jar (a form of capacitor).
The first recognition of the effects of electricity within chemistry, and flowing electricity, was Galvani in 1791. This led to the development of the first modern piles (often now called by the term for a stack of piles, called a battery) was by Volta in 1799. However, excavations in Egypt have shown ancient devices very similar to simple electrical piles.
Most probably its Benjamin Franklin
