Who remembers the number 800 torch battery? I was talking to someone about batteries and I remembered these from my youth.

I don't think I've seen any physical ones since around 1970, back then but they were popular for cycles.

Show your age!

Ever Ready number 800 battery composed of two round cells side by side with a brass strip terminal soldered onto the front and another on the top of the pack. These were frequently used in torches where the front strip pressed against the bulb contact and the top to a sliding connection acting as a switch
