I think that's those #6 cells earlier referred to...

Now that's a new one on me,  I've never heard of one of those that was
rechargeable...

Yeah,  the "3v" filament one was tapped,  they ran the two halves
in parallel.



 EV> That radio used small base tubes with 7 or 9 pins.

They were all 7-pin to the best of my recollection.
