Abstract: The leaf of Bryophyllumpinnatum plant contains some organic acids. A technique has been developed to extract electrical energy from this leaf. A cell fueled by Bryophyllum pinnatum is called BPL cell. Our study showed that, this kind of cell is capable for LED bulb lightning, tuning radios and even charging mobiles. So, from this BPL cell, people at the off-grid region can get some electricity and can get benefitted a lot. In this paper, we shall try to show our work on the self-discharge characteristic of the BPL test cell in a new way.

Keywords: BPL cell, Biomass, Electricity for off-grid people.
