      Yes, except you need to buy each bit in a big glass jar.

      Edit: only half joking, they used big Leiden Jars, which were basically giant glass batteries. There was no such thing as people with power at home, unless you were crazy rich

        There were electrochemical cells (invented in 1800) that provided a constant current for some time.

        Idk the details. Look up Galvanic cell, Volta cell.

          Sure, but those are still “big glass jars full of electricity”
