Baghdad battery or Baghdad battery1 is the name given to various vases made during the Parthian period (before AD 226), which some suppose to function as an electric battery.

In 1936, during excavations on a hill in Kujut Rabua, a village southeast of Baghdad, Iraq, workers from the Iraqi State Railroad Department discovered an old grave covered with a stone slab. Over two months, the Iraqi Department of Antiquities extracted from there a total of 613 beads, clay figurines, chiseled bricks and other pieces. They were dated to the Parthian period (almost five hundred years between 248 BC and 226 AD). They also found some very unique clay containers, vase-shaped and light yellow in color. Inside was a copper cylinder, fixed with asphalt to the mouth of the neck. Inside the cylinder there was a rod of iron.
