Did I miss something? Let me try to make this clearer for you - I measured a new 3LR12 battery (which is interchangeable with the #703 used in a later version of the Eveready Daylo 3651 to replace three discrete "B" cells) and compared the measurements to the dimensions in the EuroEnergy chart to determain that the "B" cell is almost the same size as the 17 X 50mm "A" cell and estimated that the height of the "B" should be 55-60mm...
