A dry cell battery Explanation: 乾means "dry" 電池is battery. In modern usage, battery is usually written バッテリー(batteri-) Reference: http://216.33.236.250/cgi-bin/linkrd?_lang=JA&lah=24a7260dc1... |

products that use dry cell batteries Explanation: If you're looking for the meaning of the word 乾電池応用品, it means products that use dry cell batteries. So the translation of the above line should be: "dry cell batteries, or products that use dry cell batteries." I'm guessing it's plural, but you can probably tell from the context if it's singular or not. You could also translate it as "dry cell battery-powered products." Good luck! |

battery accessories Explanation: I know that this is ouyouhin (applications) and not youhin (accessories) but, in that case this becomes "(dry cell) battery applications," which would be the "products that use batteries" above, but is that likely, since they are in a class with "batteries"? I would say that it is likely that it is things like battery packs, or battery chargers or battery related things for other products (that use batteries) rather than the end use products themselves. |

4 hrs confidence:
Battery-operated products Explanation: This is the correct answer. The direct translation is "battery-applicable product", but that's neither English nor a good translation. In Japan, they still say 乾電池 when they refer to batteries, and 電池 when they refer to "power switch." |
