Jim also to be complete, inside the battery there is a small piece of foam
that goes the length of the battery and there is a brown piece of paper that
covers the top of each battery. This brown paper is the same length of the
foam. In addition, there is a brown piece of paper that covers the four
inside bottom batteries. The two outside batteries have no paper covering up
their leads at the bottom. What is this purpose of this paper and foam?
