Having viewed the idiot piece on Youtube "32 AA cells" in a
lantern battery. I took apart a couple lantern batteries.
The Rayovac carbon had four D-like cells, and the Duracell
had literally four D cells (just like the D cells you'd buy
in the stores). With a cardboard spacer, and contacts.

Supposedly Energizer alkalines contain the F cells, not
Duracell. I havn't opened one of them. Also no clue what
happened to B, or E cells.


Radios don't use tubes anymore so no need for 'B' batteries to power
their plate circuits (B+).
