Hi all,

I'm trying to get this old doorbell working. I bought some C batteries but they were too short for the slot. In the attached photo you'll see the exposed slot. The cover was lost a while ago so I have no brand name to go on.

I bent the contacts inwards to fit the C batteries but they didn't work (I can't rule out a wiring issue but the doorbell has worked in the past). I think the actual dimensions for a battery that would fit are roughly:
Height: 60mm
Diameter: 25mm (give or take 5mm)
And according to the markings inside the slot, each battery is 1.5V

Could be a "B" cell,still used in Europe.

Don't deal much with bells...there is a set of them,downstairs,in the servants quarters but we can't hear them...
