Cultural Tip
In Brazil, the word “pilhas” refers to the small, disposable cells (AA, AAA, etc.) that power remote controls, toys, and flashlights. For larger rechargeable units people say “baterias”. When offering extras, it’s polite to specify the type (e.g., “pilhas AA”) because not all devices use the same size.
