Ernst Waldemar Jungner (born 19 June 1869 in Skaraborgs Iän, died 30 August 1924 in Kneppbade, Sweden) invented the nickel-iron battery that laid the foundation for the battery factory in Oskarshamn.

The invention of the nickel-iron battery was disputed between Jungner and Thomas Alva Edison, who developed a battery on the same principle almost at the same time.

Founded: 1900
History:

In 1916, Svenska AB Logg was taken over and their production of speed and distance measuring instruments continued. In the 1930s, they also manufactured optical instruments.

In 1974, the name was changed to Nife Jungner AB.

The company was taken over by the Sonesson Group in 1980, then sold to Cardo in 1986, and in 1991 taken over by the French battery company SAFT (Alcatel-Alsthom group), after which the firm renamed to SAFT Nife.

As of 2020, SAFT Nife is a registered trademark used globally by SAFT.
