Why are there no B batteries -- there are A AA AAA C D but no B?
Nirvanius
The codes A and B were used for batteries providing voltage to portable vacuum tube devices. As battery powered vacuum tube devices were rapidly discontinued with the spread of the transistor in the 1960s, such devices are very very rare now, and due to lack of demand these battery sizes are no longer available. The B battery was typically rated from 45 to as high as 270 volts.

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.
What are types of secondary cells?
a cell is one element of a battery, now commonly referred to also as a battery. Technically, of all the common "batteries", only the car battery and the small 9 v one are properly called batteries,, because they are made up of a number of cells in series. All the rest (AAA, AA, B, C etc) are cells. This distinction has become unused, and they are all called batteries. A primary cell/battery is one that cannot be recharged. A secondary cell/battery is one that can be recharged.
How many D batteries does it take to make a 12V?
It takes eighth batteries. each battery, being AA, A , C,or D have 1.5v per cell. if you put them all in series; neg. - pos., neg - pos., and so on it will take eight D batteries to make 12 volts.
Why does foil give power to batteries to light a light bulb?
Aluminum foil does not give power to batteries to light a light bulb. The common batteries that we use in flashlights and portable electrical/electronic devices, like the "D" cells, "C" cells, "AA" and "AAA" cells, are made with a zinc can. This zinc outer container for the battery has two jobs. It acts as a housing to contain the electrolyte, and reacts with the electrolyte to create voltage. There isn't any aluminum involved. The actual chemical reactions involved in the generation of voltage in the zinc-carbon or zinc-manganese (the "alkaline") cell can by found by surfing the link to our friends at Wikipedia. They're down with all this. And you can be to.
What does the D-cell do in a complete circuit?
A D size cell is one of about five common size batteries. D cells are used mostly in larger tubular flashlights. Other common sizes are A, AA, AAA, C and D.To answer your question it supplies the voltage to the circuit.See related links for complete list.You ask about a d cell. Maybe you mean a DC cell. All cells are DC, direct current.
List 4 different types of batteries?
Aa, aaa, c,d
What voltage is a AA battery not effective?
AAA batteries are rated at 1.5V as are AA-C-D batteries. Once down to 1.3V or lower they are not much use,
How many volts in a c?
A "C" battery has a 1.5 Volts same with AAA, AA, and D batteries.
How many different size batteries are there?
Smallest to Biggest in each category.Cylindrical-AAA < AA < C < DPrismaticLantern < 9-VoltThese are the most common batteries and generally the only ones consumers ever use.
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.
What is the most common type of batteries used in personal electronics?
The most common type of battery used in personal electronics are alkaline and carbon zinc batteries. They comes in different sizes including AAA, AA, C and D. AA and AAA are the most common.
What are AAA AA C D and 9V batteries?
AAA, AA, C and D cells are all 1.5 volt, 500ma batteries of different sizes. A 9v batter delivers 9v at 500ma. Other batteries exist as well (hundreds of them) from watch batteries smaller than the diameter of a pencil eraser to huge batteries used to power the telephone company.
Are alkaline batteries positive or negative polarity?
All batteries regardless of the type (alkaline, lead acid, mercury, gel cell) have a polarity. AAAA, AAA, AA, B, C, D batteries the top tip is positive the bottom flat portion is negative.
Does Motorola make batteries?
for mobile phones and communication radios, yes. as far as i know they do not make AA and other types of batteries like D, C, AAA, etc...
Which batteries are available for an Energizer charger?
The Energizer Universal Battery Charger can recharge a number of different types of batteries. The types of batteries that can be recharged include AA, AAA, C, D, and 9 volt.
What are the different sizes of Sanyo batteries that are available?
There are many different sizes of Sanyo batteries available. They available in Alkaline or rechargeable batteries. The different sizes of batteries include AAA, AA, C, D, and 9 volt.
How many types of batteries are there?
There are literally hundreds of different types of batteries available to consumers. The most popular batteries for consumer electronics are AA, AAA, C, D, 9 volt, and smaller "watch size" batteries.
