I changed the name of the Sources section to External links because they are not currently cited in in the article. Please see WP:ELNO. Those external links should be significantly trimmed or moved to citations. I recommend WP:PR if there is any interest in nominating this for GA status. TJMSmith ( talk) 11:46, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
Great job with this article. I had a few comments/questions.
Chemist! He became an inventor by accident as he was trying to prove the value of his storage batteries. It turned out he "invented" a new type of storage battery (patent 464,676) and the practical electric carriage (aka electric car and electric automobile) as a means to prove how powerful his batteries were based on a unit of weight. He was far ahead of others of the day from this standpoint = state-of-the-art battery technology.
I know it can be difficult writing articles using old sources. Best, TJMSmith ( talk) 11:55, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
This article is part of Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/20210315 and the Good article (GA) drive to reassess and potentially delist over 200 GAs that might contain copyright and other problems. An AN discussion closed with consensus to delist User:Doug Coldwell GA articles en masse, unless a reviewer opens an independent review and can vouch for/verify content of all sources. Please review Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/February 2023 for further information about the GA status of this article, the timeline and process for delisting, and suggestions for improvements.
