Reproduction of the flat 4.5V battery used by the German army during World War II. Two versions are available: one featuring the Daimon brand logo, and another marked “Wehrmacht” with a printed Morse code chart. Both sleeves are designed to fit over modern 3R12 batteries, instantly transforming them into historically accurate props.
Perfect for reenactment, film productions, museum displays, or as a collectible accessory. This type of battery was commonly used in signal flashlights, field lamps, and other electric devices. The variant with Morse code was especially popular among field units, serving also as a quick reference guide.
Interestingly, the origin of the flat battery goes back to 1901, when it was invented by Paul Schmidt. It consisted of three 1.5V cells placed side by side. Branded as Daimon, it quickly became a globally recognized product. After the war, the Daimon brand was eventually acquired by Duracell.
Some versions include a Morse code table printed on the back, a detail found on actual wartime batteries. This makes the sleeve not only visually authentic but also a functional historical addition.
