The Faure Electric Accumulator Company (FEAC) was a British company founded in 1881 in London to supply electric batteries suitable for lighting and other purposes.[1] It took its name from the French chemical engineer Camille Alphonse Faure. Lord Kelvin wrote a favourable review for Faure's new battery design that appeared in The Times. However he did not play a formal role in the company.[2]
