I am looking for a type of battery (D cell, 1.5 volts) I've not seen in a long time. It is an Everready but is only one-half the height of a standard D cell. Would anyone know if these are still manufactured and perhaps supply an address where they can be bought? I've tried calling Union Carbide and the response has been "we never made one." It is, of course, sitting on my desk. But, sadly, long dead. Thanks. Bert Cowlan. pssc on EcoNet. [Moderator's Note: No offense to Union Carbide, an otherwise fine company, but don't you just love it when a representative of a firm absolutely denies what you already know? Then when you tell them what *you know*, instead of seeking counsel from a more experienced or informed employee they keep right on denying it. PAT]

Would anyone know if these are still You maybe should ask the manufacturer of the product it goes in for a current recommendation. You haven't given enough info to really pin down what you have, but maybe this will help. An EVEREADY # E94 (USASI Designation - L80) is 1 11/32" diameter (same as a "D"), but is 1 13/64 overall length. > I've tried calling Union Carbide and the response has been "we never > made one."
