The PP5 was an odd beast. I think the Sinclair Micro FM used it....that was my only experience of it. I have no idea what it was originally designed for. It has the same size connections as for the PP3 but one at each end. You could probably fabricate one using suitable button cells, either 7 or 8 stacked in series would probably work. Even back in the late 60's they were difficult to find and most stock left was out of date.

I can't even find an image of one anywhere.
