Mallory RM-450H Mercury Hearing Aid Battery

This is an Mallory RM-450H 1.4 volt mercury battery for body worn transistor hearing aids of the mid-1950s.

It weighed about ¼ oz., and measured 9/16" high by 7/16" in diameter.

Mercury batteries are no longer sold today because of the large quantities of mercury in them and the consequent environmental concerns.
