Cover picture of battery
9/1/2005 7:11:55 AMLoek Riemens
For a very long time I’m trying to find pictures of batteries used in an Emerson Radio
Type 704.

According to information found in the radio these should be:

for the 1,5 V type EM236. It’s a round battery 1-3/8 dia. and x 4 inch. length.
for the 67,5 V type EM216 5¼ x 1 x 1-7/8 inch.

On the internet I haven’t found any matching alternatives from the Eveready brand.
So I’m thinking Emerson used it’s own name on some batteries.

Is there someone who can perhaps send me a picture, or even better a scan of these covers? I will try to recreate this batteries.

Thanks in advance for any information that might help.

Keep in mind that you can purchase 67.5 volt batteries at Batteries Plus. I don't know if they are Eveready or not, and even if they are, they may have the lame "classic" label on them instead of simply the 9 and the cat.

Good luck with your search for a label otherwise. Try eBay with all sorts of search words. Sometimes people sell those old batteries or sometimes people sell radios that still have those old batteries in them.

Ideally, instead of purchasing 67.5 volt batteries repeatedly whenever they go dead, it'd be a nice idea to build a battery using rechargable batteries, though this may be expensive. Then you can simply recharge the battery whenever it goes dead.
