    Jeez. This somehow looks familiar. I guess I must have seen it before.

    Fresh, home-made batteries, just like mom used to make.

    I remember the Burgess brand of batteries from when I was a kid. What ever happened to that company? Did they get bought out by someone, or did they just go out of business?

    Burgess Batteries and Rayovac started out as the French Battery Company in Madison Wisconsin. They seperated in the 30′s with Burgess ending up becoming part of Honeywell.

    They want me to buy Burgess Batteries because robots like to eat them?
    Does that make sense in any context?
