I assume that the midget AM radios were around in other markets before the UK and Ever Ready made a battery to suit them. Does anyone know what current that the Sinclair Micro FM radio drew?
The PP5 looks like a PP3 that has been chopped in half vertically, with a capacity that is less than half.
I another thread on a PP5 battery replacement the dimensions of the PP5 were given and it is a half PP3. What rating was a sixties zinc-carbon PP3 anyway?
The Aero 6 radio a member has was said to draw 15mA at normal volume on a broadcast.
