4.5V used to be the voltage standard for the first electric components (e.g. motors, lights) in certain LEGO sets. The power came from a battery box with 3x 1.5V batteries.
Beside Basic sets and TECHNIC sets, the 4.5V standard was used for motorization of the first electric LEGO Trains which marked a long era from 1966 to 1986.
The 4.5V standard was later used for battery powered DUPLO Trains.
