The full battery designation identifies not only the size, shape and terminal layout of the battery but also the chemistry (and therefore the voltage per cell) and the number of cells in the battery. For example, a CR123 battery is always LiMnO 2 ('Lithium') chemistry, in addition to its unique size.
By 1934, the system had been revised and extended to 17 sizes ranging from NS at 7 ⁄ 16 inch diameter by 3 ⁄ 4 inch height, through size J at 1 + 3 ⁄ 4 inches diameter by 5 + 7 ⁄ 8 inches high, to the largest standard cell which retained its old designation of No. 6 and which was 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches in diameter and 6 inches high.
Under certain conditions, some battery chemistries are at risk of thermal runaway, leading to cell rupture or combustion. As thermal runaway is determined not only by cell chemistry but also cell size, cell design and charge, only the worst-case values are reflected here.
An N battery (or N cell) is a standard size of dry-cell battery. An N battery is cylindrical with electrical contacts on each end; the positive end has a bump on the top. The battery has a length of 30.2 mm (1.19 in) and a diameter of 12.0 mm (0.47 in), and is approximately three-fifths the length of a AA battery.
A variety of standard sizes of primary cells. From left: 4.5V multicell battery, D, C, AA, AAA, AAAA, A23, 9V multicell battery, (top) LR44, (bottom) CR2032 A primary battery or primary cell is a battery (a galvanic cell) that is designed to be used once and discarded, and it is not rechargeable unlike a secondary cell (rechargeable battery).
Alkaline batteries are manufactured in standard cylindrical forms interchangeable with zinc–carbon batteries, and in button forms. Several individual cells may be interconnected to form a true "battery", such as the 9-volt PP3-size battery. A cylindrical cell is contained in a drawn stainless steel can, which is the cathode connection.
I agree, this page is titled "List of battery sizes" after all. Cell chemistry is an essential characteristic of batteries however, so it should have a page of its own. MrPhelps 01:51, 26 November 2008 (UTC) Since the focus is on battery sizes, one idea is to move the chemistry sections beneath the primary table/list, above the See Also.
Before smaller cells became more common, D cells were widely known as flashlight batteries. The U.S. military designation for this battery has been BA-30 since sometime before World War II. [ 1 ] During World War II, it was designated the Type C battery by the U.S. Navy, leading to confusion with the smaller C cell battery (BA-42).
