On history
Element 373 batteries were Soviet made disposable batteries intended to be used in flashlights, portable photographic cameras and other electronic devices. These batteries were part of the 1.5v "D" type family of batteries that included the ORION, SATURN and MARS element batteries.
Quite popular for the capacity, the Element batteries tended to corrode easily and thus had a short lifespan.
Trivia
- The battery is no longer tradable from version 723.
- Currently, the only use for batteries is for powering flashlights and the recorder (item quest), but in older versions, they used too for powering Geiger counter to function.
