I am an inveterate hoarder and organizer of information. I have compiled a lot of information about radio batteries, and have done that mainly to help others.

MrFixr55 Wrote:  Do you have a lot of battery powered radios or farm radios?

Aside from a couple of '20s TRF sets and a pair of fairly recent pocket/belt personal receivers, I have just the 1946 Motorola 45B12 farm radio and an H-500 TO, which is as old as I am.

MrFixr55 Wrote:  The last one is a 1941 RCA 14BT2. This called for a Burgess 17GD60 battery which appears to be similar to the Eveready 759 in dimensions.

The two are equivalents. The are both NEDA number 413 batteries.

I have maybe two dozen battery catalogs, a few in print and the rest in PDF. That doesn't count catalogs such as RM/REM, Allied, Newark, et alia, of which I have many.
