Zenith "N-Cell" Carbon-Zinc Hearing Aid Battery
The Zenith "N-Cell" 1½ volt carbon-zinc battery was made by
the Zenith Radio Corp. of Chicago, IL for body-worn
transistor hearing aids of the 1950s and early 1960s.
This battery weighed about ¼ oz., and measured
1 3/16" long by 7/16" in diameter.
It was the cheaper alternative to the "N" sized mercury batteries
common at this time, and may also have been the replacement for mercury
batteries when they were discontinued due to health hazard
considerations.
