Battery BA-2 contains 15 A-cells for an open-circuit terminal voltage of 22.5 
volts.  Outside dimensions are 3-7/16" L x 2-1/32" W x 2-19/32" H.  It has 
two stripped and tinned wire leads.  Early in the war, external markings and 
colour scheme were those of the various contractors.  Later ones were OD external 
color with black lettering.  The BA-30 is, of course, a D-cell.
