Ever Ready Batteries
« on: November 09, 2014, 04:25:05 am »
Hi!
My partner and I are renovating our house and found these batteries under it. Unsure of what they were used for and have had some collectors offering to buy them. Is anyone aware of what year they are? Or their worth?
They are all 45volts with the discharge rates of 2 being over 20 milliamperes and the smaller one 16.

Thanks for any feedback  :)

These batteries were commonly used for old "portable" radios in rural locations that had no electricity.

Are there any side labels?  If so, please post pictures of the sides which should have additional information.

These also remind me of old radio batteries!

They are a little worn as you can imagine but hopefully you can read it!
We checked them for power and each still had 2-5volts in them.
