Why Are There No B Batteries? Actually, There Are! Or At Least........There Were!

UPDATE 9/6/23: A few statements I need to correct
1. The No. 1 through No. 5 batteries are NOT early versions of the A, B, C, D and F batteries. They're kind of direct predecessors, maybe analogous to them, but the A, B, C, and D sizes were used for battery packs at the time and the standardized names became transferred to the cell-sizes. The sizes were determined by the height in inches of the batteries, although there was some wiggle room. The Burgess No. 1 for example is about the same size as a modern sub-C battery, maybe a little smaller, the Burgess No. 2 is a little bigger than a D battery, the No. 3 is very hard to find but was often a clock battery, the Columbia No. 4, No. 5, and No. 6 were each their respective heights in inches. Columbia also made No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 sizes, but they're almost forgotten about as I can find almost no information on the internet about them. Some No. 3 batteries became glow plug ignitors (but not all glow plug ignitors are No. 3 cells, some are multiple D batteries). Other No. 1 batteries were more similar to C batteries and many No. 2 were very similar to D batteries..
2. There actually IS a B-cell battery but it's rarely called such, often 2R10 and R12 are used. It is funnily enough the same size as a No. 8 battery. I found a few standalone B batteries, but only one American-made (by Rayovac). They often are in three-cell 3R12 batteries.
3. I don't get into much about AA batteries, but they were originally called penlight batteries. A similar size, the Burgess Z-cell, also existed. AA and AAA often got #7 and #9 designations.
4. The number codes on the actual battery predecessors to today's sizes weren't the simple and easy to remember sizes I attributed to them. They had designations like No. 960 for F batteries, No. 950 for D batteries, No. 935 for C batteries, No. 927 for BF batteries, No. 915 for AA batteries, No. 912 for AAA batteries, and so on.
5. One battery type I was unaware of is the Aladdin battery. It's a nickname for a 3-volt 2C battery. I have no idea how it got the name. Maybe meant to evoke Aladdin's magic lamp?
6. Battery names existed before dry cell batteries. Originally No. 1 to No. 5 were given to wet-cell batteries, with No. 1 being the old standard battery. The No. 6 was the first dry cell, produced by Eveready in the late 19th century, still used into the 1960's as a telephone line battery.
7. Cylon makes weird sizes like the X battery (like a chubby D battery) and its own version of the No. 6 that it calls the BC.
Please watch this video, which is a follow up that corrects some mistakes I made in this:
• Rare And Unique Batter...
Watch this video to learn about the real life Burgess Dry Cell #2 battery from Back To The Future.
• This Is An Actual Real...
== Original Description ==
There's a comedy routine that asks why they don't make B batteries, offering some humorous reasons why. The reality is far more mundane, there wasn't anymore demand for them. Transistor radios and old-time hearing aids used B batteries. They're really weird and unique. Some people deduce that maybe the 9-Volt is the B battery. Actually, it isn't. 9-Volt batteries are E batteries. An actual B battery DOES look a bit like a 9-Volt, though. In the video, I show you what a B battery looks like and explain the history of battery sizes, showing a few really odd ones along the way. I know some of you are thinking "hey, wait a minute, now that I think about it, why no single-A batteries?" They exist, too! Unlike the B battery, they still make the A battery. They're kind of obscure, but Titus still makes a standard A battery, they call it "fat A". Imagine a portly AA battery and there's an A battery. Don't confuse these batteries with old time vacuum tube radio batteries, a radio "A" battery was often an F battery or a battery pack of multiple A batteries. Radio "B" batteries were often 45, 67.5, and 90 volts and the size of a box of soap powder. Individual B batteries are much smaller. Radio "C" batteries existed, too, and were usually 4 1/2 volts.
This is a collaboration with another small UA-camr, Harper The Cat

I'd also like to give a personal THANK YOU to Battery Warehouse of Altoona, Pennsylvania, USA, who provided some of the batteries.

The information gathered in this video was researched over a period of a few months using primary and secondary sources, however, some information I had to rely on anecdotal testimony to fill in the gaps. If I got anything wrong, feel free to let me know. If you can tell me ANYTHING about the #7 battery, I will appreciate it. (UPDATE 6/17/23: I FOUND A #7 BATTERY!!)
Footnote #1: At 3:30, it's supposed to say six, not four AAAA batteries are in a 9-Volt.

Hehe that second voice is mine, this collab was fun! ❤️
Thanks for partaking in the collab! This was indeed a fun and awesome time collaborating. Believe it or not, you're only the fourth person I've collabed with on here (and only the third success, the first collab attempt was a disaster due to mutual miscommunication).
@@AltoonaYourPiano hehe, glad to be here
@@harperrthecat It's amazing how few collabs I've done with other small UA-camrs over the years considering they're often so much fun. Maybe someday I'll do a collab with a medium-sized or even a big UA-camr. I'm friends with a few bigger channels (one person who's been following me since 2018 has over 200K subscribers now, so that's cool).
@@AltoonaYourPiano❤❤❤❤❤ ft
Thank you for the informantion, too 🙂
You know, just the other day, I was wondering this while buying batteries. I asked my friends this and my coworkers "have y'all noticed there's no B batteries? Or single A for the matter?" They thought about it and realized I was right. Later on I was like "I should ask Matt, he might know, he's really smart". I then forgot about it, then I saw this and remembered, it was like "Wow! That's so cool! I was going to ask him this! So cool!" And now I know! I've never heard of F batteries or number 6, number 8, or sub-C batteries. Or any of the other oddball battery sizes. I laughed when y'all said "DD batteries", I thought that was a joke, then my mouth fell open when I saw this gigantic battery that's actually a DD battery. It sometimes seems like you have all the knowledge of the universe. Oh and B-batteries are really cool-looking! I thought for a second "okay, maybe 9-volt batteries used to be called B-batteries?" Little did I know I wasn't too far off. 22.5 volts? Wow! That number 8 battery actually looks more like what I originally thought a hypothetical B battery would look like (between AA and C). I guess 9-volt is an E battery?
Also, that was a really nice collaboration! Y'all did a great job collaborating on this. I think that's so cool that you did a collab. Oh and congrats on 5000 subscribers! ❤
Thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed my battery documentary and learned about batteries. I have several different B batteries. You can show your coworkers this video so you have an answer now. Funnily enough they also make A-B batteries, they're gargantuan for some reason. Yep, 9-volt is E, but kind of based loosely on some designs of B battery.
Thanks! It was awesome doing a collab.
Wow, this is amazing! Not just the fact that I learned so much about batteries but because I had a wee disagreement with my brother last night, believe it or not. He suggested that there would be no need for a B battery because he felt the letters had nothing to do with size classifications and were just chosen long ago for arbitrary reasons. I said there had to have been A or B batteries at one time, but he said if there were then 9-volts are B batteries. I disagreed saying that 9-volt batteries were too different. I forgot about our row until I saw this. I can't wait to tell him I was right! Another win for Kissyface Seashells Jenkins, and another defeat for Michael Football Jenkins! And that I was right that single-A batteries had to exist at one time, too! I'm a wee bit surprised to learn about the sizes like the #6. I'm astounded that such a massive battery was ever produced! I hope you solve the mystery of the #7! ❤
That's so cool! Happy that you won the debate. You're really smart so it's no surprise you figured out through logic why there had to have been B batteries. There's also other types, like radio B batteries that are battery packs the size of detergent boxes. And yep, I found a #7 battery and will do a follow up video featuring it. So another mystery solved! :)
@@AltoonaYourPiano So cool! And yes, it's kind of a meme in my family and amongst friends. "Kissyface is *ALWAYS* right". And it's not that I argue to be "right", I'm just a good guesser is all.
@@KissyfaceJenkins Also it's just that you're really smart so you tend to figure things out even if you don't know them right away.
@@AltoonaYourPiano Thank you! ❤ You're so sweet!
This is so interesting indeed.
Thank you for the info, it is always nice to learn new things that we didn't know about them.
Well done my friend.

So glad you enjoyed it so much, thanks for taking some time to stop by and check out my battery video! :)
Wow! That's crazy! When I first saw the title, I was like "yeah, you know, you're right, I never thought about that", but it's true that B batteries can't be found. I'm glad you answered the question mere minutes after planting that in my head. I never knew that there were so many battery sizes. I would've thought B batteries were the 9-volts, except they're size E. Wow, that number 6 is huge! The number 8 should have become the B battery IMO, it's like as tall as a D battery but as wide as an A battery. The DD battery made me laugh, I wasn't expecting it to be real.
Thanks so much, Liz! Glad you got to learn from this. Good news, I found a number 7 battery. I will do a sequel someday to this
Very cool. I had no idea there were so many different batteries. Thank you for the fascinating history and informative video.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for checking this out. So happy you enjoyed learning about batteries!
I've never seen so many different batteries. Thank you for the battery history!
So happy you enjoyed learning about the batteries. Thanks so much for taking time to check this out!
You know, I've wondered that sometimes. Now I know! Single-A and B batteries really DO exist, they're just rare, hard to find, and/or obsolete. I never even thought of an F or a #6 battery!
So awesome that you learned about that. I know this was a common question for lots of people including me
Wow! Very interesting! Thanks for sharing Altoona.
Have a great weekend!

Thank you! You too! Glad you liked this!
This is really cool! Even cooler than you realize, I'm sure. There's a lot I didn't know about batteries including a lot I never thought to even think about. I thought I knew a decent amount. I knew about the standard sizes and how they work. It turns out I know very little about batteries. I have always on some level wondered why A and B batteries aren't in stores, but AA, AAA, C, and D are. I figured maybe the 9-Volt was the B. Wrong I was again with that! And I never even thought to think there might be F, G, and J batteries (I did see AAAA and N before). The B battery turned out to be even weirder than I imagined. I guess they were only in special devices like transistor radios? A batteries looked pretty normal, though. I had lots of fun learning about batteries, I always enjoy learning about things through your channel and the way you always explain things. Thanks for another epic video, Matt! 🥰😍❤
Thanks, Robin! Super happy you enjoyed learning about batteries. Same with me, I went from "why are there no B batteries?" to "wait, there's an F?" to "holy crap, number 6 and number 8?" to "why are there no number 7 batteries?"

This was so interesting. I have never seen a B battery and to tell you the truth I wonder why I never thought about there being a missing B battery! It was great seeing all those different size batteries. Always something to learn when I visit your channel. Hope you have a great weekend. 😀
Glad it was helpful at helping you learn about B batteries! Always glad when you learn something from my videos! :) Funny thing is I barely thought about B batteries before I began doing the research. Thanks for stopping by and watching! :)
Спасибо, что поделились интересным видео! Успехов!👍
You're welcome, thanks for checking it out!
Very fascinating history and explanation of all things "battery'!! I'm amazed that you have actual samples of some of these obsolete ones - every battery I've ever bought eventually became corroded and to be thrown out - I wish I still had some of the old versions of batteries I used as a hobbyist while in my teens. I always liked the old yellow and blue Ray-O-Vac logo in particular!
I'm so glad you enjoyed learning about these old school batteries. I'm amazed they're still so well preserved. Amazingly I think the fact they're used and dead batteries is why they're still in good shape. I know which ones you mean. I think I have some of those old Rayovac batteries somewhere. Thanks for stopping by and checking this out! :)
Mind blown! 🤯 I never knew the battery world was so fascinating and full of surprises! From B batteries to the rare and obsolete single-A batteries, there's a whole history to explore. Thanks for shedding light on this electrifying topic, Matt! Your collaboration with Harper made it even more enjoyable. Keep sparking curiosity with your epic videos! 🔋✨
Thanks so much, I tremendously appreciate it, thanks for checking this out! So happy you got to learn about the long extinct B batteries and the super rare obsolete A batteries as well as the ancient #6 battery. Thanks for stopping by to check this out! :)

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for checking out my battery video. Always happy when people learn things! :)
I still remember the 4.5 volt batteries "Flachbatterie" I used a lot as a kid, putting my tongue on both metal tabs and "tasting" the electricity. 😂
That's really cool memories! That's how I usually test 9-volt batteries. However testing a B battery like that would be very painful. Glad you liked my video about B batteries! :)
Your analysis on battery formats and their loss over time is really interesting, as a child those in packs and the rectangular 9 Volts were very fashionable, but also other formats that I no longer see. The market has chosen what is consumed and used the most, in reality I find the mini AAA and AA styluses very widespread, and sometimes the C or torch-style ones we call. Thank you for your comments and original video. The Maxell brand is not marketed by us and I had never seen it.
Have a nice start to the week my friend.
It's kind of amazing how certain types of batteries became associated with specific uses. Like how A batteries fell out of use because the AA batteries were a little smaller allowing for smaller battery packs, even if just by a small amount. B batteries are weird in that there were so few uses for them. Kind of amazing how ironic it is that the AAA and AA are so common but their ancient ancestor, the #7 battery (later discovered after I filmed this) was so rare and almost unwanted as most stuff called for a #1, #2, or #3. Maxell no longer makes batteries here but they do make cassettes. Thanks as always for watching, and thanks! You too!
@@AltoonaYourPiano The law of the market regulates the product and its life. Thank's my friend.
Very nice and educational! I didn’t know about the history of batteries! I just recently cleaned out my ‘junk’ drawer in the kitchen in an attempt to organize all our batteries. I even found some button batteries, just the new version. Enjoyed the video- thanks!! 😄👌👍👍
Super glad you enjoyed this so much! Thanks so much for checking out my new battery vlog. So awesome to hear from you as always! :) It's funny how this video idea started, I wondered what happened to B batteries, and that led me down a rabbit hole to discovering batteries like the #6, which is like the size of a paint can. Fun fact: They also made radio B batteries which were a battery pack consisting of B batteries. Some were the size of a box of laundry detergent!

Great information. I have not seen a number 6 battery since I was a kid. It actually brought back memories.
It's so awesome that you'd seen #6 batteries before. Good news is I found #7 batteries. I might make a video comparing the #6, #7, and #8 as sequels. The #7 looks to be the ancestor of both the AA and AAA batteries. Thanks for checking this out! :) Have you seen B batteries before, too?
It's fascinating to learn about the history and different sizes of batteries. Exploring the existence of B batteries, as well as the obscure A batteries, adds a unique perspective to the topic.

So glad you got to learn about weird battery types through here. If it helps you feel any better, a guy I know who's been a battery specialist for over 40 years (that's even longer than I've been making music) had never seen a B battery before. It's always fun learning new things. And he even showed me tons of odd batteries I hadn't seen before.

Thanks, Xena! And it's very true, battery sizes are weird. B batteries were used in radios, number 6 batteries were for telephone transformers, they last an extremely long tmie.

I use the Batteries every day and never thought of this information.
I love this great video, thank you👍👍
So glad you learned from this video? B batteries are especially odd and rare! Thanks for checking this out! :)
Like 63 ..... Greetings from Alberta - Canada ..... The B battery's fade into obscurity really happened because the market for them just simply dried up. With the designation of AA, and later AAA which took place in 1959, the B battery didn't have a consumer niche to keep them commercially viable.... easy and simple ...Tom
Thanks for the info about the AAA batteries. I later found out the prototype battery that became both the AA and AAA was indeed the #7 (it ironically was super uncommon). That's very true about B batteries, there wasn't a need to keep making batteries for transistor radios, old time hearing aids, or cameras when there was far less need for a 22.5 volt battery once they improved them enough to not need so much voltage. It's amazing how big the original B batteries for radios were, like the size of a box of detergent. I think they were battery packs of multiple B batteries (radio A and C batteries I know were power pack batteries of their respective sizes).
@@AltoonaYourPiano They still using them but not on the consumer market
All-purpose batteries have different shapes and uses, so thank you for sharing batteries that can be used in various ways😊👍

Interesting variety of batteries. Thank you lots!
Glad you like them! Happy you enjoyed learning about the batteries!
The b battery that you showed is the same battery that I used in the mid-60s for a flash unit that was part of my Agfa C4 for camera. What was missing was the huge battery that they use for flood lights with a red flashing light to make car repairs or Emergency services. The other battery is a long thin battery with red and white stripes stripes going lengthwise that was used in the walkie talkies and in feel phones during world WW2. My father also use these batteries in his RCA portable radio. I still have the radio but I can't use it because I don't have the batteries.
That's so cool! I think I know the batteries you're thinking of, were they made by Burgess? The first battery sounds like a #6 battery, the second one sounds like radio B battery for vacuum tube radios, those looked like long, thin 9-volt batteries (and had voltages of 45 and higher). They were famous for their red and white striped batteries. I have a few Burgess batteries.
Oh! Good news, while searching for the batteries you described, I found a #7, answering a question I had in the video!
Hi Matt! Thank you for this very informative history lesson! I learned so much 👍😊 It was great that you were able to find the old batteries, which made the video very interesting ❤

Thank you very much! I appreciate it, glad you enjoyed learning about batteries.
There are so many kinds of batteries
This is an interesting story about batteries
Thank you for sharing 🧡👍🧡
Thanks for watching! So glad you got to learn about B batteries and other weird sizes
98 % I'm using AAA batteries...even my Gold detector can use AAA lol😂 Cool video mate 👍
It's amazing how common the AAA is nowadays considering its ancestor, the No. 7 battery in the early 1900s was super uncommon and obscure.
@@AltoonaYourPiano yeah and it makes more waste
Very interesting my friend, thanks for sharing! Like 203 with my best wishes for a happy Friday, Charoula! 🌿🌻🌴🌹🏵🥀
Thank you! You too! Glad you enjoyed learning about odd battery sizes!
Very interesting! Something I had not thought about until you brought it up! Nice information and research you shared, Altoona! ❤️❤️❤️Nice collaboration with Harper.
Glad it was helpful! And I had fun for sure with the collab. Happy you learned stuff about batteries, thanks for stopping by and watching! :)
This is so interesting! I did not even know there was a B battery. Thank you for sharing about them , as always fascinating videos Altoona! 😊
It's so awesome thatyou got to learn about B batteries from this. I'm always happy when people learn from my stuff!!
Very interesting research and presentation on this, dear Matt! Yeah, I've always wondered about that as well (in regard to B batteries and No. 7, etc.). Nice collaboration with Harper! At first, I thought that you had used a vocoder to alter your voice! Ha, ha! Very cool information in this production! I still think that you should be a science teacher. Big hugs to you! ~Michelle
Glad you enjoyed this presentation! It's kind of cool that you knew enough about batteries to think of the No. 7. Good news! I found a No. 7 and can do a sequel to this. Thanks as always for checking this out and it's so awesome you enjoy learning from me! :)
@@AltoonaYourPiano You always have interesting information in your productions, dear Matt! Please take care, and stay safe! :-)

That's right, I don't remember seeing a B battery!
I'm so glad you enjoyed getting to learn about these odd battery sizes! B batteries are a very obscure size, even people over the age of 80 would've only seen them if they worked with radios. Thanks for watching! :)

I have been thinking of batteries lately like how do you recycle them? And what makes then work exactly? OMG that EverReady batter is so old! This was super informative. 👍
Basically batteries work through a chemical reaction with the electrolyte inside, which is why they have both copper and zinc inside as well as acid. Batteries are fascinating. Did you know the battery was invented in 1800? The first batteries were clay pots with asphalt stoppers found in Baghdad. Most people are surprised to find out that batteries are so old they predate the Lewis and Clark expedition. Thanks for checking this out, glad you enjoyed learning! :)
Have a fantastic day my friend👍
Thanks, you too!
Ого какая огромная коллекция батареек! Приятно общаться с увлекающимся человеком! Всего вам самого доброго!
Thanks so much, I tremendously appreciate that. I'm so happy you liked learning about batteries
I have to admit -- I hadn't really given batteries much thought! Way more batteries than I was aware of! That is cool that Altoona has a battery warehouse and that they helped you out with the video! Nice collaboration
So glad you like it! I linked to both the Battery Warehouse in description and also the UA-camr that I collaborated with (no affiliation between the two). I'm so glad you got to learn stuff about batteries, I thought that was really cool! Thanks for stopping by to watch! :)
That was interesting! I enjoyed your video my dear friend 🙂
Your videos are always special.
Thumbs up. Have a great Friday and weekend ahead 🦋
All the best, Jenny ♫
Thank you! You too! So happy you enjoyed getting to learn about B batteries and other oddball sizes.
excellent sharing
Thank you so much! 🙂 I appreciate it tremendously!
that was a very interesting tour of the various batteries through time. I never heard of these unique sizes you are mentioning here. Really good info. Yes, I believe that you won't find these in stores and have to go online.
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you so very much! I'm so glad you enjoyed learning about A and B batteries along with other weird sizes. Some of them you can't find still working versions of them but you can collect old ones. Thanks for watching! :)
Great... Always detailed information :)
