Before some other history-of-technology buff nitpicks me, I'll correct
my typo. The 1.5 volt and 6 volt rectangular batteries each use 4 "F"

Oooooo, that's a really old-time product, from the very
beginnings of the retail battery industry. Four "E" cells
connected in parallel and packaged in a rectangular case.
The ubiquitous 6 volt lantern battery has the exact same
components connected in series, with spring terminals.
