That 22 1/2 volt battery is a good looking project, Mike. It looks like you made the box and printed the graphics, too, or is that original cardboard?
I made some measurements this morning on the guts of the P-41A-4G battery. It was difficult to get good measurements with the tar. I was pressed for time, so I didn't do thorough measuring or calculating, but I'm inclined to believe that the A supply in that battery are paralleled "F" cells as you suggested. That means my clever interpretation of the Philco numbering scheme for that battery is wrong.
I haven't looked at the other battery I have, for a 46-350, to see if the internal cells match the part number. I also remembered I have an original Philco battery for a Mystery Control. When I have some time, maybe next week, I'll pull those out and compare the cells with the part number, but I think maybe I jumped to conclusions.
Beautiful work on your battery reproductions.
