I remember Halford's selling those in the 1970s. Ever Ready 'Transistor Clock Battery' they were called. A metallic yellowy colour. Years ago 'Which' magazine included them in their battery data but I can't remember how they differed from a regular C-cell. I don't think it was anything radical.

How I remember them so clearly is that for some reason, Halford's was the only shop in town that stocked them!
