21. How come there aren't B batteries?

Actually they do exist :p:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_battery_(va...ubes)#B_battery

[Fred Derf Veteran]

The article was likely referring to the fact that there are AA (and AAA) batteries, there are C-cell batteries and there are D-cell batteries but there are no common B-cell batteries.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_battery_sizes

[aussiefloyd_fan]

wha arent there just A batteries and what about CC batteries and double d batteries and tripple c and tripple d batteries

[Fred Derf Veteran]

If Pamela Anderson was connected to the Matrix then she'd be a DD (or triple D) battery.

[qdave]

well someone took this too seriously :p

like 44 most :p

[SirEvan]

Wow... Primexx...you need to get out and learn some more...some of your responses are pretty bad.... you don't know what A and C batteries are? or who said "all the world is a stage"? sheltered.

There are "A" batteries as well, they are slightly larger than AA batteries. We use them in our RFID tags that we sell.
