Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking countries "pilas" is the everyday word for batteries, especially for small devices like flashlights. "Baterías" is also correct but sounds a bit more formal or technical. When listing items, the article is usually omitted before the second noun after "y" (e.g., "una linterna y pilas").
