"B" size batteries were once relatively common. Old type "B" batteries were once used in tube type portable radios. There was also an "A" battery to power the tube filament. The "B" battery had a relatively high voltage - from 22.5 Volts to over 90 Volts. The "A" battery was a lower voltage battery 1.5 Volts to 9 Volts. You can still find these in antique shops.

In electronics, a B battery is any battery used to provide the plate voltage of a vacuum tube.

One story I heard is that they got rid of rthem for people thought you were stuttering
"I'd like b batteries"
"What size?
"B batteries."
