I believe the "B" sizes are still made in Europe - in a 3LR12
4.5 battery that looks like a small Prince Albert can (anybody
here old enough to remember those? *g*) with two flat strip contacts
sticking out of the top used in a number of headlamps used by soldiers,
hikers, etc. (and in an old Eveready Daylo flashlight I have stashed
away somewhere similar to: http://tinyurl.com/dcwoj> except mine has a
flip-up compass under the lens and it used a #703 (same thing as the
3LR12 - about 20mm thick X 60mm wide X 65mm high) instead of three
seperate "B" cells and, of course, the "A" designation
is used for NiCd
& NiMH cells that are about the same size as the "B" cell - 17mm
Diameter X 50mm High http://www.euroenergy.co.uk/battery-sizes.html>
