I know I am going to regret this, because it comes back to creating another thread about sports. But I cannot help myself because there exists another meaning of battery that is probably not in current use. At one time battery referred to the duo on defense who pitched and caught in baseball. Back in the 20s and 30s, the newspapers would have a box about the games to be played and would list the batteries for each team. This was probably stopped when wholesale pitching changes became common.
