Product Code : SCL-CL-11455
Volta Battery (Glass Type) (SKU SCL-CL-11455) is a classroom voltaic battery made of glass cells, each holding a copper and a zinc electrode in an electrolyte. Linked with conductive wires, the cells power a panel-mounted LED, giving students a visible sign that chemical energy has become electrical energy. Science Lab Supplies quotes the battery from Ambala, India, for school science departments, colleges and teacher-training institutes, with separate quantity pricing for distributors and tender contractors.
Specifications
The Volta battery's parts are tabulated row by row below. In short, chemical glasses (beakers) act as the individual cells, copper and zinc electrodes dip into the electrolyte in each glass, conductive wires join the cells, and a panel-mounted LED serves as the load that lights when the battery delivers current.

Applications and Experiments for the Volta Battery
The Volta battery is used to show how two different metals in an electrolyte form a cell, and how several cells joined in series give enough voltage to light an LED. It links chemistry lessons on reactivity with physics lessons on cells, batteries and circuits.
- NCERT Class 10 science: chemical reactions as a source of electricity and the reactivity of zinc and copper.
- Class 12 chemistry and physics: primary cells, EMF and cells in series, compared with the 1.1 V theoretical voltage of the Cell Daniel Copper With Zinc.
- Middle-school science: simple electric circuits with a chemical cell.
- Science exhibitions and history-of-science lessons on Volta's battery.
Standard Scope of Supply
The set is made up of chemical glasses, copper electrodes, zinc electrodes, conductive wires and a panel-mounted LED. The electrolyte is not included; a dilute acid or salt solution can be prepared by the teacher and handled under supervision with Protective Glass eyewear.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Request a price for a single battery for demonstration or for a number of sets for group work. Every quotation gives the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity you name, and extra electrodes or spare Chemical Glasses (Beaker) 100ml can be listed with it.
Science Lab Supplies has an Importer-Exporter Code and, as a registered exporter, can ship to buyers in Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru and Egypt. To have the battery priced, leave a message on the contact page or add it to the enquiry cart beside other items; a tender-based purchase is explained on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Volta battery light the LED?
Zinc is more reactive than copper, so in each cell zinc gives up electrons that flow through the wire to the copper side. Several cells in series build up enough voltage to light the LED.
What electrolyte should be used?
The electrolyte is not supplied. A dilute acid or salt solution chosen by the teacher can be used; follow your laboratory's rules for preparing, storing and disposing of it safely.
Who supplies the Volta Battery (Glass Type)?
Science Lab Supplies, a supplier based in Ambala, India, provides the glass Volta battery. Schools can order directly, and distributors and tender contractors receive quantity quotations on request.
Can it be quoted with other chemistry lab equipment in India?
Yes. The battery can be listed on one quotation with other cells, electrodes and glassware from the Chemistry Lab range for a complete order.
