Voltaire was the experimenter who first took cells made from two dissimilar metals and stacked them to form a series battery.

Stacked in series, the voltage obtained was the multiplier of the number of piles.

He called this a "pile" - which is actually quite descriptive, as it was nothing more than a pile of dissimilar metals.

We honor Voltaire with the modern short term for Electromotive Force, the Volt.
