[Milsurplus] Re: NOS 45 volt batteries good?

Hue and The Group,

I've encountered some military B batteries that were made up 
of fairly common alkaline cells, e.g. AA, plus foam blocks 
to make up the extra space taken by the larger carbon-zinc 
cells used in the original version of the battery. You can 
feel this construction through the cardboard, The alkalines 
have fairly substantial shelf life, so you might want tho 
give them a shot if the price is right.
