"B" batteries wee a special size used for military/industrial
applications. I don't know if they're still made or not. But there were
never really and consumer items that were designed for the "B" battery,
that's why you never see them.

In the beginning every radio, or virtually every radio, was battery operated.
They all used B batteries. It was only later that radio ran off AC line
voltage.
