Default Re: Was there something odd about Japanese primary cells?

In times-past I recall various bits of gear where the batteries [either zinc-carbon primary-cells or lead-acid secondary batteries] in mains/battery gear used the batteries as a sort-of 'big electrolytic capaitor' to provide additional power-line smoothing when run from an AC supply.
