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

I've found the following numbers (in an old Maplin catalogue) :

991: larger 6V, 2BA terminals
992 : 6V, screw terminal version of the 996. 4 F cells in series (actually listed as HP992)
993 : 1.5V version of the 992 (4 F cells in parallel)
996 : well-known 6V battery with the conical springs on top. (actually listed as PJ996)

This suggest that '994' and '995' were used for some battery type. No idea what (hence me asking if anybody had any old battery catalogues some time back on this forum)

This Maplin catalogue lists the Flag cell as well as the 993 1.5V battery which suggests they were both being made at that point. All seem to be 'Ever Ready' brand. Also listed are :

No 8 (cylindrical 3V battery)
1289 (4.5V battery with the brass strips on top)
126 (4.5V battery with screw terminals)
AD28 (4.5V battery with socket connector)
HP1 (12V battery with socket connector).
