TW>LK> TW>  I checked that website, EuroEnergy, and could find NO trace of a
TW>LK> TW>  mention of a "B" Battery. Did I miss something?

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

TW>LK>Is this clearer?

TW> Let me make MYSELF clearer. I am lookiong for the Source of the Term
TW> "B" battery. IF there is NO listing for it Why are you using it. What
TW> is ytuor reaso nor source ror yusing the term "B"
TW>BY your own admission it appears what you are calling a "B" is most
TW>likely an "A".

TW>Adn don;t get me Wrong. I am not trying to be argumentive but am simply
TW>courious. As I have never in recent times heard the term "B" battery
TW>used.

Tom, go here for a factual history of B batteries and also A and C
