Back in  simpler times all we had to worry about was batteries for the 
big old radios that were the only source of information and 
entertainment on the farms. Before my time but I still find the 
occasional remains of black chunks of carbon that used to be the dry 
cell batteries. Non rechargeable and expensive so I think radio time was 
rationed in those days.
