Battery lantern is a rectangular battery, usually an alkaline or zinc-carbon primary battery, used primarily on a flashlight or lantern. Lantern batteries are physically larger and consequently offer a higher capacity than a more common torch battery. The lantern battery consists of several cells inside the housing.
The most common variant in the US is a 6-volt base battery with a spring terminal. In Europe the most common is a 4.5 volt flat pack type.
