The AA, C and D size designations originated in the US at a time when battery-operated valve radio receivers were widely used. These receivers had already laid claim to the A and B designations: the A battery (usually a lead-acid accumulator) heated the filaments of the valves, while the B-battery provided the high-voltage supply for the anodes. Therefore, new cells could not use the same names and AA, C and D sizes were adopted.

What happened to the 'A' battery? We have 'AA' and 'AAA', but no 'A' battery. Is the government using them all? Are they being used in sattelites? How about the 'B' battery? Where'd it go? Jamie Nordmeyer Portland, Oregon, USA
