Old batteries

I remember this topic about old batteries, and thought about the old 'EVER READY' C-cell batteries I have, which came in one of my radios. They date from the '80s I think.





Has anyone else got old batteries they'd like to show?

Ahh good old SP and HP cells Smile

I was trying to find a couple of old batts I had kicking around but can't locate them at the moment....
but anyway they are:

EverReady Silver Seal 9v

and I also had an EverReady 'PowerPlus' HP2, those black ones.

Wow gettoman, those are more than likely the original batteries that came with the box, as the GF-990 was made around 1982. Thanks for posting the pic!

I've got a bunch of these very vintage Hellesens AA's



I think they came from an old cine-camera I got from flea market about an year ago. Liked that tiger so much that just couldn't throw them away! Big Grin

don't have any interesting old batteries, but i have this old little box for bunch of AA batteries. I believe, it's about 20 years old allready.
