Frederik Louis Wilhelm Hellesen (1836 – December 22, 1892) was a Danish inventor and industrialist. In 1887 he designed what is thought to be the first dry cell battery based on the Leclanché cell design.[1] The same year he founded the company W. Hellesen (later know as A/S Tudor-Hellesens, A/S Hellesens, and GN Hellesens), now defunct. Today the Hellesens brand name is owned by Duracell.
