| Hello all!
This might seem like a somewhat frivolous question, but I am trying to
find the authoritative way of drawing a battery "cell" in a circuit
diagram.
I found references suggesting that the version with two lines (one
longer than the other, and a gap between) is a "cell". More than one
of these together is a "battery":

Apparently people often use "cell" when they meant "battery"... but
I'd like to draw a cell in this case. So I'm only using two lines in
my picture.
The next question I have is in regards to whether the shorter line
should ideally be *thicker* than the longer one. I see that used
fairly often, but not always:

I'd like to mark the positive side with a "+", and I was going to put
it to the top right. Then I was going to leave off the "-" on the
bottom. Is that just as good as anything else, or is there a favorite
amongst EEs?
Thank you for any and all feedback, I know this is a little esoteric
and most likely the answer is "it depends...", but if there's a
consensus I'd love to know it...
