In the days of the vacuum tube, the plate voltage is known as B+ voltage, or B battery.

Because B already stands for Battery. It's a redundancy.

If you went to the store & asked for a B battery they might think you were stuttering.

Pathfinder is correct and beat me to the right answer. In the days of tubes, the high voltage was called the B+ ("B plus") supply or just-plain "B voltage." That's why there's no B-size battery.
Even in solid-state circuits, the term "B-supply" lingers.

Yes, I've seen plenty of schematics with B+ indicating positive potential.
