• "The researches of M. Gaston Planté on the polarization of voltameters led to his invention of the secondary cell, composed of two strips of lead immersed in acidulated water."
• "A battery of such voltameters is shown to the left of Fig. 3, and one of the apparatus, isolated, is represented in Fig. 4."
• "In order to make an advantageous use of the instruments, it is necessary to admit a certain loss of energy, so much the less, moreover, in proportion as the voltameters cost less; and as the saving is to be effected in the current, rather than in the apparatus, we may admit the use of three volts as a good proportion -- that is to say, a loss of about half the disposable energy."
