Does anyone have a photo of what these hand torches looked like? Were they special made or just regular torches with in field modifications?

Strictly, a battery is a collection of multiple electrochemical cells, but in popular usage battery often refers to a single cell.[1] For example, a 1.5-volt AAA battery is a single 1.5-volt cell, and a 9-volt battery has six 1.5-volt cells in series. The first electrochemical cell was developed by the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta in 1792, and in 1800 he invented the first battery, a "pile" of many cells in series.[4]
The usage of "battery" to describe electrical devices dates to Benjamin Franklin, who in 1748 described multiple Leyden jars (early electrical capacitors) by analogy to a battery of cannons.[5] Thus Franklin's usage to describe multiple Leyden jars predated Volta's use of multiple galvanic cells.[6]
