I was going to post that I love the batteries...
I also love the way they call them dry cells, even though the term is still right nobody uses it today.

@Oracle1729: Especially have to love how people call them "batteries" now, when infact most "batteries" are actually "cells".
Both AA and AAA are "cells", as in, each has one power-producing core. 9V batteries are actually 3x 3V "cells" together in one battery.

Shadyman, I did think of that while I was typing my earlier message here but I let it go. Since a battery is a cluster of cells, is it wrong to call a cluster of 1 cell a battery?
BTW, alkaline 9V batteries are 6x1.5V cells; alkaline cells are 1.5V. In modern batteries they're almost always cylinders smaller than an AAA (AAAA cell I believe). I've also seen them with a single stack of rectangular cells.
