There are AA's, AAA's, C's, D's, etc. I have never heard of an A battery. What is it?

 

Lithium Thionyl Chloride battery

 

The radio A battery was a 1.5 volt cell that was in a cylindrical container. They were about 4 inches in diameter, and around 8 inches tall. They had a central stud connector with the negative stud out on the edge. Also referred to as "ignitor" batteries (not sure about the spelling).

The A battery ran the tube heaters, while the B battery suppled B+.

I should've remembered that! Here's a single A battery holder.

 

Lithium Thionyl Chloride battery

Is there a particular size called 'A'?

 

The dimensions are 18.5mm x 50.5mm

Not sure.

 

Oh, something like this?

ER18505M lithium spiral type batteries, Size: 18.5mm*50.5mm Weight: 32g Nominal voltage: 3.6v Capacity: 3.3Ah Max constant current: 1000mA

 

Yeah, that's it. I can't find anything anywhere, I've looked on digikey but the closest thing looks like a C battery holder
