Today, inexpensive train sets running on batteries are again common but regarded as toys and seldom used by hobbyists.

Battery power is used by many garden railway and larger scale systems because of the difficulty in obtaining reliable power supply through the rails outdoors and because the high power consumption and thus current draw of large scale garden models is more easily and safely met with rechargeable batteries.

The two coupled together and used by anti-aircraft batteries, placed along the flight path of German V-1 flying bombs on their way to London, are credited with destroying many of the flying bombs before they reached their target.

Practical applications exist only for chemical compounds of promethium-147, which are used in luminous paint, atomic batteries and thickness measurement devices, even though promethium-145 is the most stable promethium isotope.

Multiple problems with reliability, stability and safety ( by some, the model was referred as the " HindenBook " because the lithium ion batteries used actually burst into flame in Apple tests, necessitating a recall and downgrade to nickel metal hydride batteries ) were present in the early 5300s.

Silver oxide (), produced when silver nitrate solutions are treated with a base, is used as a positive electrode ( anode ) in watch batteries.

( The " Brick " Computer is the CF-07 Toughbook, dual batteries, screen used same batteries as the base, 800 x 600 resolution, optional GPS and WWAN.

Powered by a 6V adapter or 4 AA batteries ( compared with 2 for most Walkman models ), it was widely used by journalists and developed a following among hi-fi enthusiasts.

The safe is a repository for three dead flashlight batteries, a hundred and fifty unused left-hand fingerprint cards, a stack of unsold Policemen's Ball tickets from last year, and thirty-seven cents in coins and stamps.

The main use of metallic arsenic is for strengthening alloys of copper and especially lead ( for example, in car batteries ).

The largest applications for metallic antimony are as alloying material for lead and tin and for lead antimony plates in lead-acid batteries.

During times of low demand, excess power can be stored in batteries for future use.

The decrease in consumption in other applications was made up by a growing demand of cadmium in nickel-cadmium batteries, which accounted for 81 % of the cadmium consumption in the United States in 2006.

Power sources of calculators are batteries, solar cells or electricity ( for old models ) turning on with a switch or button.

It weighed about 455 grams or one pound, had a vacuum fluorescent display, rechargeable NiCad batteries, and initially sold for $ 395.

Some such units employ batteries that can provide power for several hours in case of external power interruption ( e. g., see the EMC Symmetrix ) and thus maintain the content of the volatile storage parts intact.

); a homemade shelter-ventilating pump ( a KAP ); large containers for water ; a plastic bottle of sodium hypochlorite bleach ; one or two KFMs and the knowledge to operate them ; at least a 2-week supply of compact, nonperishable food ; an efficient portable stove ; wooden matches in a waterproof container ; essential containers and utensils for storing, transporting, and cooking food ; a hose-vented 5-gallon can, with heavy plastic bags for liners, for use as a toilet ; tampons ; insect screen and fly bait ; any special medications needed by family members ; Pure potassium iodide, a 2-oz bottle, and a medicine-dropper ; A first-aid kit and a tube of antibiotic ointment ; long-burning candles ( with small wicks ) sufficient for at least 14 nights ; an oil lamp ; a flashlight and extra batteries ; and a transistor radio with extra batteries and a metal box to protect it from EMP.

The batteries on the bugging device I had put on the car were still fresh enough to send out good strong signals.

During the delay, the spacesuits, a spacecraft separation mechanism and batteries in the Lunar Module ( LM ) were modified and tested.

In 2006 four batteries ( divizions in Russian terminology ; about 6 systems each ) of S-300 anti-aircraft systems were acquired from Russia to reinforce the Joint CIS Air Defense System.

2 9v batteries were added as a size comparison.

Six batteries of guns were ranged alongside the village.

Also facing Ramillies Marlborough placed a powerful battery of thirty 24-pounders, dragged into position by a team of oxen ; further batteries were positioned overlooking the Petite Gheete.

These shoals were too shallow to permit passage of larger warships, and so Brueys ordered his thirteen ships of the line to form up in a line of battle following the northeastern edge of the shoals to the south of the island, a position that allowed the ships to disembark supplies from their port side while covering the landings with their starboard batteries.

From the documentation compiled by the Civil Aeronautics Board investigation, a possible key to the plane's disappearance was found, but barely touched upon by the Triangle writers: the plane's batteries were inspected and found to be low on charge, but ordered back into the plane without a recharge by the pilot while in San Juan.

The red LED and blue / green vacuum fluorescent displays consumed a lot of power and the calculators either had a short battery life ( often measured in hours, so rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries were common ) or were large so that they could take larger, higher capacity batteries.
