Best Answer

A common misconception is that B was skipped because of confusion with high-voltage batteries from old radios. But the "B" battery of an old radio circuit has nothing to do with a B-sized cell, which is a 1.5 V (in alkaline) cylindrical cell in the same series as the AA, C, D etc. It's about the same height as a D, but 2/3 the width (skinnier than a C). Not usually found individually, a 4.5 V lantern battery (common in Europe) is actually 3 B's wired together.

Does a powered wheelchair have a wet cell or dry cell battery?

Most powered wheelchairs currently use dry cell (also known as gel cell) batteries, and most likely will be shipped with gel cell batteries when ordered. However, you should be able to use either wet cell or dry cell batteries for any scooter as long as you use the correct size (usually one of the following: U1, 22NF, 24, or 27).

Do all hearing aids require the same size batteries?

No; battery sizes vary based on the type of hearing aid used. Most hearing aids require one of five types of batteries, which are made distinguishable by color and size. The color which indicates the battery size is on the tab which is pulled off to activate the battery. Blue batteries are size 675, yellow batteries are size 10, brown batteries are size 312, orange batteries are size 13, and red batteries are the smallest size, 5.


Are AAA batteries stronger or D batteries stronger?

With the same load current the AA will last longer that the AAA. This is due to the physical size of the cells. A C cell will last longer that a AA and a D cell will last longer that a C cell. In dry cells as the cells get larger the amp/hours increase.
