"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.


Lots of people listened to radio broadcasts in the 30's and the radios
all used B batteries. There were shoe-box sized "portable" AM radios
than needed B batteries (90v ?). They were in common use until
transisters became practical. I'll guess 1960.
