Any radio clock that I have seen needs more voltage than a single AA (1.5
Volt) battery can deliver...... are you certain that it is indeed a
single
cell 1.5 Volt AA battery and not a similar size 6 volt or 12 volt battery
similar to those found in cameras and smoke detectors??? Make certain
that
you observe the correct polarity.... it can be confusing at times.

I have an analog radio clock that works just fine off a single AA battery, I
installed a Quartex movement in it, so they do exist.
