You better check your facts. A son in law is an electrical engineer. He's working with stuff that requires long life batteries.

It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
