Default Re: Is Ever Ready still a part of your life?

I use my Ever Ready Sky King daily, powered from its re-stuffed B103 battery. I’ve also got a pair of N and N3 attache case radios with re-stuffed and replica batteries.

A couple of other Ever Ready batteries that I’ve found inside old Avometers are the B121 15-volt, and the square section 1.5 volt cell with centre screw terminal and flying lead. I’ve got a re-stuffed one in a Model 7 somewhere but can’t remember the battery type number.

Years ago, I remember a rectangular 22.5 volt battery for instruments and camera flash guns, and maybe also used in the early hearing aids that used HiVac miniature valves. This battery had rounded corners. I think there were two sizes, one square in section, the other rectangular. Again, my memory fails me regarding the type numbers!
