Sin′gle-flu′id Bat′ter-y.
(Electro-magnetism.) A galvanic battery, having but a single fluid, in which the elements are submerged, or by which they are wetted. The original Voltaic pile was the first of this class. Cruikshank was the first to submerge the elements. Babbington and Wollaston had also submerged elements. See gravity-battery; Cal-Laud-battery. The term is in contradistinction to the double-fluid battery, invented by Daniell.
