I always got a kick out of the 4.5V that Ray-O-Vac came out with for a
"one-size-fits-all" replacement.  They used their stock 9V
battery that was then selling for about $3, split it in half and made two
computer 4.5V batteries and sold each half for $12.  Nothing like a little
profit!   :-)


     Good luck...  M.
