There are always some very dry days in a year, when you are dressing or opening the door, you will be suddenly shocked.What plays a role here is static electricity.

Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material or between materials. The charge remains until it is able to move away by means of an electric current or electrical discharge.

The positive and negative charges of static electricity separate when we wear clothes that cause friction. At this point electrons may move from one material to another, which leaves an excess positive charge on one material and an equal negative charge on the other. When the materials are separated they retain this charge imbalance.

Heat and charge can induce charge separation

Heating generates a separation of charge in the atoms or molecules of certain materials. All pyroelectric materials are also piezoelectric. Besides, a charged object brought close to an electrically neutral conductive object can also cause a separation of charge within the neutral object.

This is called electrostatic induction. This means that if we charge the battery, static electricity may be generated.

Can static electricity be used to charge a battery?

In theory it can, but what charges the battery is current.The high voltage associated with static electricity is huge but typically incapable of supplying the current required for any practical applications. Under normal circumstances, a computer with static electricity cannot be turned on because your computer has a protection mechanism that can only be turned on when the static electricity is discharged. If there is no such protection mechanism, once the electrostatic discharge is caused, the instantaneous voltage can damage the hardware.

Can I charge a battery with static electricity?

Well, regardless of whether it is positive static electricity or negative static electricity when an object with static electricity touches a zero-potential object or a grounded object, or an object with a potential difference from it, charge transfer will occur, forming a discharge phenomenon that can be seen with the naked eye.

We already know that the high voltages associated with static electricity are very high. That means it’s not good at low voltage, high current tasks. Instead, it likes to achieve high, dramatic sparky voltages.

So, for the sake of your battery, discharge the static electricity before charging the battery.
