I think the mcmaster Carr batteries are in fact #6s. Reason being they have a separate battery case section. They show it as 1.5 volts at 52,000 mAhrs. What do the better D's put out, 18,000 mAhrs?

They do have interesting and old industrial components. McMaster Carr even has button head grease fittings (In BSP even! P# 1094K61), so they have some interesting old industrial stuff.

How many volts did they put out?
