MM> TW> BUT that WOULD not "By Definitioon" be a "N" Cell, but simply a
MM> TW> 12 Volt Battery. ALL the cells in the series I am talking about, A,
MM> TW> AA, AAA, AAAA, SC, C, D, F, Super F, G, J, N, 6 all have a nominal
MM> TW> voltatge of 1.2 to 1.5 volts depending on their Chemical Composition.
MM> TW> They are individula Cells. Something with 12 volts, even if it was
MM> TW> close to the N cell size, would not be an "N" CELL. But a stack of
MM> TW> cells, most likely without any official designations, to make up the
MM> TW> 12 volt stack.

MM>I hate to admit it, but the 'cell factor' went clear over my head for one
MM>little application I have that uses a 12V x 7mm battery that has not been
MM>available for some years.  I can probably 'make' a better one with a stack o
MM>small lithium cells or 'hearing aid' type alkaline cells, whichever I can fi
MM>that would fit!

 That could be posable as there is a mind boggiling assortment of smal
 cells avaialble. And with a little engunity one might be able to build
 a suitable 12 volt pack.
OF course those without somewhat size limitations have it easier .
I saw an interesting solution to getting a 90 Volt pack for an old Farm
Radio. It was by snapping Ten 9 volt batteries together.
Of course it would not last as long as the NO longer avialble origional
but it would allow you to Demonistrate yuor prized posession.
