Sony. ;-)

No, IDIOT! They are NOT batteries, they ARE CELLS!
A singular device I a CELL. Only retards in the 60s and 70s started
this calling them alL a "battery" when they are (were) NOT such.
A battery is a group of cells.
You are clueless.
Whoopie ****ing doo, boy. What you never did, obviously is study
ANYTHING about word origins. Depite learning the trade, you obviously
have issues with words which have more than one meaning, much less those
with only one.
They are CELLs.
It doesn't matter where they are made. If they have the correct fully
charged starting voltage, they will feed into the proper load for that
form factor cell, and they will NOT ever jump to some higher, unsafe
voltage. So all you idiots who said "I would never put a VietNam battery
in my motherboard" is just a total ****ing retard.

Origins aside (and I have some sympathy for the precriptivist
argument), it's considered acceptable these days* to call a cell a
battery.. but it's never acceptable to call a multi-cell battery a
"cell".

He or she said it was _not_ a cell. That is saying that it consists of
more than one cell. So, certainly not a lithium CR2032 'battery',
which is a single button cell.
* the rot seems to have set in earlier than the 60s and 70s-- my 1949
edition of the "Standard Handbook for Electrical Engineers" says,
somewhat snarkily, "In accordance with common usage the term is also
applied to a single cell". Common usage usually wins out in the long
run-- there are more commoners than nobility, after all.

That is what I said. It started in the 60s and 70s so any of you dopes
who were born or attempted to grow up since then have been using the
errant but accepted stupidity.
I KNOW the history.
It is a ****ing CELL.

Yes. Handheld, tube operated, and therefore HV (as it were) requiring
military radio sets were fun little items. The tubes were like my baby
finger in size. Needed a 67.5 Volt battery. That WAS more than one
Cell.

ONLY if you use an array of those, all alike, to produce another
"battery". In such a case, each 'battery' could be called a cell of the
whole, finished device.
Like a box full of 9 Volt cells wired in an array. Then one could
rightly say "Each of those is a cell in my new battery."

Thought you'd pile some on too, huh?
So, would more then one be called a 'pilery'?

Ha-ha.
The stupid thing is... I had dead motherboards with exactly these batteries
!
Could have saved those 10 bucks ! LOL
10 bucks is way too much to pay. If you need one in hurry buy it at the supermarket.
P.S. 1: Serves me right for listening to 15 year old kids ! LOL.
P.S. 2: I removed the batteries from the dead motherboards, maybe they ll
come in use some day !
theyre good for testing LEDs

Made in Japan shipped from China? I have a bridge you may be interested in.

Sony on the wrapper and Panasonic on the case ?
Sounds like a forgery.
J
Jasen Betts
they are cells.
Ignorant of chemistry apparently.

Perhaps some Chinaman got the old tooling cheap on E-bay?

Whereas instead of simply being called one, you actually are one.
Make sure to put those shitty fingers into that hole-y mouth, so you
can fester faster, ****er!
Bwuahahahaahahahahahaahahaha!

These batteries are also known, even in the larger sizes like the CR2032's as
button cells.

Unbelieveable! You forgot the quotes!
Absolutely so!

Nobody dumped any tooling anyway*. They're still making the batteries.
Changing markings on a production line costs almost nothing and can be
done in minutes.
BTW, the ones I've gotten in production quantity through the
legitimate distribution chain were made in Panasonic's factory in
Indonesia, not in Japan. Here's why:-
Min wage per month (US$)
Indonesia $85
China (Shenzhen/GZ) $208/202
Japan $937
US $1257
Canada $1392
Despite Indonesia being a rather corrupt country with political
instability and creaky infrastructure, it's really, really cheap to
produce a simple product like a battery or button cell that has only a
few component parts (metal and chemicals and packaging).
* I toured a mothballed alkaline battery factory not that long ago- in
the Toronto area (mostly AA cells). Lots of machinery on the lines
(packaging and assembly). It's not much more sophisticated than
packaging toothpaste- cram the chemicals into the housing, seal it up,
test and package it. At ~$10 for 48 no-name batteries these days, I
don't think they had the scale to compete- it was only about 8000 or
10,000 ft^2 IIRC.

Matsushita = Panasonic, not Sony. Sounds like a fake.

I KNOW THAT, you ****ing retard!
NOW, IDIOT! Go back and read the post again.
IF I used an ARRAY of 9 volts batteries where each of them then become
a singular "cell" of my new battery array, they would be.
You clueless ****. Go look up the word moniker, dipshit.

Maybe YOU should reread your own post...
">> Like a box full of 9 Volt CELLS wired in an array. "
Have a nice day.
