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. 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.
