I have just found a website where 45 volt and 67.5 volt batteries can be purchased. Can those batteries be adapted so that they can power up battery tube radios? I would appreciate information on this and if it's possible, how is it done?

Regards

Yep. Radios that need 67.5 volts, use a 67.5 volt battery. Radios that need 90 volts, use two 45s in series. Batteries Plus has these kinds of batteries, too, including some 300 volt ones.

Unless you have a portable that you're taking to the beach, though, you're better off using a battery converter. It'll cost you less in the long run.

Can those converters be purchased or is it kits that have to be made up?
Thanks.

You can purchase "battery eliminators" from places like AES, or if you need/want portability, make your own B+ arrangements using cheaper 9V batteries in series. "A" battery arrangements can be made from C or D cells in parallel/series as necessary.

Thanks everyone-----You have been very helpful.
