Here are some pictures of mine and some I found on the net that show examples of 1.5/90V combination A-B batteries.

Note that they use several 1.5 batteries connected in parallel (all the plus ends connected together and all the negative ends connected together) so that the useful lives of the A battery and B battery will be nearer the same. The voltage is still 1.5 volts, but the amp hours add together.
