The Faure Electric Accumulator Company (FEAC) was a company founded in 1881 in London to supply electric batteries suitable for lighting and other purposes. 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. Despite Lord Kelvin's optimism, various shortcomings in Faure design became apparent. In particular the lead paste applied to the lead plate in Faure's design became unstuck. Soon a revised version, the Faure-- accumulator was considered an improvement. However this created a problem as regards the management of patents. Almost immediately the (EPS) was founded in 1882 and threatened the FEAC with a lawsuit over the patents. By 1883 EPS had acquired the relevant patents and became the first manufacturer of electric batteries in the world.
