Interesting. I remember, about 60 years ago while going to school on the bus, |
| 17 |
noticing women on their way to the shop to have their accumulators charged. |
| 18 |
They were rechargeable batteries in large, rectangular glass jars with |
| 19 |
carrying handles - must have been heavy, quite like a car battery today but |
| 20 |
smaller. |

I think an accumulator could be recharged, but a battery* could not. Strictly |
| 23 |
speaking, "accumulator" might be thought a better term for what we call a |
| 24 |
rechargeable "battery", but usage hasn't turned out that way. |
| 25 |
|

* "Battery" seems to have come from an army parallel: a battery of guns |
| 27 |
inspiring a battery of energy-storage cells. |
