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

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


 I had inadvertently left out the "N" battery. It is a popular one for
 Pocket Pagers. But it is of reliatiavely recent introduction compaired
 to that "A", "C", "D" series of cells.
A quick check of The Radio Shack Web site shows that they omnl;y carry
teh Alkaline "N" battereis under cat # 23-023
But NiCAD and NiMH rechargable "N" batteries are avaialble from other
sources. The Standard "N" cell is 11.5 MM Diameter and 28 MM tall. There
are two variations. The 1/3 "N" at 10.8 MM Tall and the 4/3 "N" at 44.5
MM Tall.
