    We alway had Duracell or Ever Ready at any store, one of them used to stink but I can't remember either. Forget the no-name brands, they were really terrible; I should try to find battery reviews, I don't think I've seen any.

    Years ago there was a forum member called BatteryMaker he used to make "vintage" batteries, I wonder what happened to him.

    A really, really old ad from 1962 with a portable radio. I don't know the history of batteries and sizes but those look they'd work in today's equipment. I'm sure it was huge that most were standardized. I would bet these two were the most popular, 9v for transistor radios, C-cell for portable tape decks, larger radios and flashlights (torches)?
