'Holland Batteries' around 1800-1805. Please can anyone help?

At that time it was not uncommon for a Naval  wife to accompany her husband on board ship, I have come across babies being born at sea. In the same way, a limited number of Army  wives were able to accompany their husbands overseas. So a baby could be born in a foreign station or aboard ship travelling to or from a posting.

Thankyou @Jebber.    I guess it's one hope too many that there might be records for any of these Napoleonic era servicemen?   Any thoughts?

I did have a Quick Look before I posted but couldn't find anything. It's difficult not knowing which service, if any. Records that early are very thin on the ground.

I have a direct ancestor in the Royal Navy much later and I have found very little about  him, although I know his last ship and pension records.

Thanks - I guessed that might be the case.    Mariners are pretty thin on the ground in the landlocked Staffordshire Moorlands, so my gut feeling would be that he'd was more likely have been a soldier, which I'd guess would might make him even less likely to be able to trace!
