Good morning.

That battery was designed by my late father....

Cool. Have you been there?

Been there? Yeah, many many years ago, when my dad was still alive and before he got Alzheimer's disease which was before they even knew what that was.

So, I was a kid and I think the battery was still in use. He also designed a whole string of Radar stations all up and down the keys. You can recognize them because they look like a huge golf ball sitting on a tee ready to be struck. I don't know if all of them are still in use or not, but I suspect so and used by the DEA to spot drug runners. But that's only a guess.
