The complete nomenclature for a battery specifies size, chemistry, terminal arrangement, and special characteristics. The same physically interchangeable cell size or battery size may have widely different characteristics; physical interchangeability is not the sole factor in substituting a battery.
Origin of the term B+ for plate voltage power supplies. Multiple B batteries may be connected in series to provide voltages as high as 300 V DC. Some versions have a tap at 22.5 volts. Originally used in vintage vacuum tube equipment for grid bias.
These cylindrical cells are widely used in EVs, including electric bikes, electric scooters, electric cars / hybrid electric cars, UPS batteries, storage batteries for solar power systems, starter batteries for cars and motorbikes etc.
The PP (Power Pack) series was manufactured by Ever Ready in the UK (Eveready in the US). The series comprised multi-cell carbon-zinc batteries used for portable electronic devices. Most sizes are uncommon today; however, the PP3 size (and to a lesser extent PP8, used in electric fencing, and PP9) is readily available.
Mass is 120 g. Center distance between terminals is max. 19.2 mm. Mass is 200 g. This battery typically had two snap connectors; however, four [clarification needed] connector versions are available. They were spaced 35 mm (1 + 3⁄8 in) apart.
See Battery chemistry for a list of other electrochemical systems. Sometimes used in pen flashlights, laser pointers, powered styluses, calculators, fishing lures. Used in many household electronic devices. Introduced 1907, but added to ANSI standard sizes in 1947. Used in many household electronic devices.
