I just found this carbon-zinc battery. We have hundreds of NiMH batteries, having replaced all the alkalines in all our small devices, but I didn't know we had one of these. I have no idea where it came from.
I knew these batteries were developed from the original wet Leclanche batteries, and were basically the first dry cell batteries, but that was about it. I just finished the Wiki article, so now I know a lot more.
Anyway, here's a photo:

Anyone else here have any experience with them, or know anything about them?
I just happened to look at it as it didn't look like any of my NiMH cells, which are mostly white and black colored eneloops, and then I noticed the label stating the type of cell.
