Maybe Explanation: more context would help. What sort of batteries are they, what are they used for, etc. Batterie à anse makes me think of car batteries with a couple of rope handles, as we used to get many years ago (prior to that, batteries had no handles whatsoever and had to be gripped underneath; now, like 24-packs of beer, they tend to come with a centrally located foldaway handle that makes life so much easier). I'm tempted to think that "a fourreau" might refer to precisely that sort of handle, but I can't see how or why it would. However, modern batteries DO often have a plastic clip on-cover (not just over the cells - in any case, modern batteries are nearly always life-sealed units), mostly for aesthetic purposes, which MIGHT be called a fourreau (?). |
