Re: Batteries
My wife has something that uses one.? I think it goes with her tablet.? From about 5 years ago.
I got replacement AAAA cells at either CVS or the local grocery store.? They were relatively cheap

Re: Batteries
Nice! I've never met a flashlight I didn't fall in love with. I have some Soviet flashlights, varnished cardboard tubes and reflector and the glass has rough edges like it was snipped from window

Re: Batteries
Noone has mentioned the flat 4.5 V flashlight battery. It was very common when I was growing up in Sweden.

Re: Batteries
There were 4 "F" cells inside the lantern battery case. You can still buy them (at least as of 2023) but almost all had 4 "D" cells with a spacer at the bottom. I used the lantern batteries with screw

Re: Batteries
I must have made a typo I meant *Leclanché cell.*
**https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leclanch%C3%A9_cell**
**Up until alkaline cells replaced the *Leclanché, the *Leclanché was the standard "D" "C"

Re: Batteries
My father wore a hearing air starting in the late 30's. I recall him having a 45 volt and 1.5 volt battery that he would put in his right rear pocket. These powered the vacuum tubes in the aid. When

I vaguely remember studying Leclanche cells in physics lessons at school in the late 1950s.

Re: Batteries
My vague recollection was around 45 V.? But you might have two in series, for 90 V.? I am not sure but I think that was what our AC/DC radio had.
