15F20 battery
15F20 is an older design of an electrical battery , consisting of 15 carbon-zinc or alkaline manganese cells in series connection with a nominal voltage of 22.5 V . This type of battery is specified in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard IEC-60086 . The battery is cuboid with the outer dimensions 50 mm × 25 mm × 15 mm, the two electrical contacts are opposite on the two narrow sides. The capacity depends on the cell type and manufacturer - it is usually in the range of 100 to 150 mAh .
Applications
The design mainly served as an anode battery for older mobile electronic devices with electron tubes .
A secondary application were photographic flash units with Vacublitz - flash bulbs , which instead of a high-current battery low voltage at this higher voltage and a storage capacitor could be ignited safer (so-called condenser ignition).
