TW>EV>TW>I nsearchine the Internet for the "A" battery I
found that there are
TW>EV>TW>curreently in production Twelve Standard Sizes of single
cell batterie
TW>EV>TW>They are in Increasing size order, AAAA, AAA, AA, A,
SC(Sub C, C, D, F
TW>EV>TW>Super F, G, J, and #6

TW>EV>Tom, I just remembered the N battery that looks like a shorter AA
TW>EV>battery that some Clocks use.
TW>EV>A friend, some years ago, got such a clock and I told them to go to
TW>EV>Radio Shack to get a N battery and sure enough they had it.
TW>EV>Since RS doesn't print a full catalog anymore and I don't waste my
TW>EV>precious 10 free hours on NetZero browing On-Line I can't find it, but I
TW>EV>have a copy of their last catalog and a Alkaline N battery is listed as
TW>EV>well as an more expensive Nickle-Metal Hydride N battery.


TW> I had inadvertently left out the "N" battery. It is a
popular one for
TW> Pocket Pagers. But it is of reliatiavely recent introduction compaired
TW> to that "A", "C", "D" series of cells.

Tom, My fuzzy old mind says that I remember getting a "N" battery way
back in the mid 1950's.

I may be wrong cuz I never know what "Ed's Head" is going to come up
with.

TW>A quick check of The Radio Shack Web site shows that they omnl;y carry
TW>teh Alkaline "N" battereis under cat # 23-023

My old RS catalog shows that one plus the 23-521 NiMH rechargeable cell.

TW>But NiCAD and NiMH rechargable "N" batteries are avaialble from other
TW>sources. The Standard "N" cell is 11.5 MM Diameter and 28
MM tall. There
TW>are two variations. The 1/3 "N" at 10.8 MM Tall and the 4/3
"N" at 44.5
TW>MM Tall.

Thanks Tom, I didn't know that there were variations of the "N" cell.
