can I really call it a "battery" when it's only one cell?

I try not to, but it's such common parlance at this point that it's essentially a lost battle. But when I tutor circuits, I get to go on about how *every* household battery is made up of some combination of single 1.5V cells, and so only the 9V is actually a "battery" of 6 of them, &c. Hee.

And the 6V lantern battery, of course...

I'm relieved to not be the only one who thinks that way.
