Well, in "The Big Snag", Pete and Myka are using Vyasa's Jade Elephant to catch static balls in the Library and drain it into a battery backpack. I can't find when he was or migth have been alive, but given his importance to Hinduism, my first guess is that his artifact might have been collected during Warehouse 10, and the battery backpack is almost certainly a Warehouse 13 invention (assuming there weren't previous iterations or other objects the elephant was drained into or unleashed upon).

I'm sure there may have been other objects or artifacts used to catch or deter said static balls, which would have grown more problematic each iteration as more and more artifacts are accumulated as you said, so around WHs 3-6 sounds like the likliest time to need a solution.

I'm sure artifacts that attract electricity or prevent static buildup in the vicinity must (have) existed that far back in the past, most likely related to deities during the earlier iterations (Zeus or Thor comes to mind, perhaps, though given they're gods of lightning and thunder they might not be the best).
