What device even uses this??
One is shorter than the others. Triple, eh?
I don’t see it ; perspective?
Usually they’re used in thin devices where a bigger battery wouldn’t fit. Lots of computer styluses take AAAA batteries, including the Microsoft Surface Pen. There are also some small flashlights and laser pointers that use them.
All my remotes use them
I have a flashlight at work that uses them. It’s a PITA because we don’t stock AAAA batteries at work so they have to be special ordered.
Wouldn’t it be cheaper to replace the flashlight then?
If his job required constant use of a flashlight a fully rechargeable one would make the most sense. Faster cheaper better
You can buy a 9v and open the case with some pliers and then boom. You go yourself some AAAAs
Any device that it fits…it’s still just 1.5v battery.
There is no difference between AA, or AAA and apparently AAAA other then size.
There is a difference other that size: capacity
There’s a difference in capacity between AA batteries too. So size then…
You could say the same about C and D batteries too.
They’re all 1.5V
I remember needing 4 D batteries for my boombox as a teen. :D
But… does the mythical A battery exist?
It would appear so!
An A battery is usually just called a 17500. They were used in laptop batteries and such but are now used in hobbies more. Mostly for flashlights, vapes, or Lightsaber replicas.
So does the B battery
There’s even C batteries, they were known as baby batteries when I grew up, and quite a few ghetto blasters used them
Right - so that is a photo of an AA battery and a drawing of an A battery.
So if I take a photo of a gorilla and draw Sasquatch next to it I have proof of Sasquatch! This is good info to me.
BRB
Ah - so I need to put the drawing on Wikipedia. Noted!
Anything else that’s needed? Quickly please as I’ve already called NYT and CNN
You could read the text next to it. They have an official specification, and they’re occasionally used as cells in larger battery packs, but they never got adopted in consumer products, so you can’t just buy an off the shelf A battery. Nobody has bothered to get a picture of one, because nobody actually cares that much.
Can someone fix this dire state of knowledge?
Thanks - I’m adding some text now next to the drawing about occasional sightings in Canada, but as they don’t care about capturing it nobody has a picture of it. Hence validating my drawing as the only proof.
An AA battery next to a dimensioned 2D drawing of an A battery (7mm grid).
(This is an placeholder image for A battery section of en:List_of_battery_sizes. To be replaced with an actual example as soon as one comes along.)

My mistake!
Honestly it feels like “1/2AA Battery” should just be an “A battery”
~17450 with a prefix depending on the battery type.
Every battery is a battery.
A battery has many faces. A battery has no name.
Is this what Ubisoft is using to power their development??
Obligatory AA AAA AAAA

These are common in Microsoft Surface stylus and my Kobo Elipsa pen uses them but I’d never heard of them until 2021.
I use them in my active pens.
What does your remote use?
I haven’t had one that needed anything other than AA or AAA…uh…ever?
What brands are you buying?
I have two vizio tvs and bluray player that all take two aaaa batteries
Edit: just rechecked and they are aaa, not aaaa. I do have a penlight with aaaa though
Yeah, seems like AAA has become the standard. I don’t love it. Seems like they don’t last as long as AA did.
Yeah, mass is kinda like that i think
Well, I mean, in theory they used the smaller ones because they got the power draw down enough that AAAs could power the thing for about the same duration. But obviously not.
USB-C and solar. It’s 2024
Now I feel poor. Thanks.
like a 16 gauge or sth
it looks like batteries are screaming like AAAAAAAAA
Save money buying just 1 AAAA battery and cutting it in half for two AA batteries.
I think they follow Hydra rules, if you cut it in half you end up with an AAAAAAAA battery
Hail Hydraaaaaaaa!
I have a wacom-type pen for a tablet that uses one of those. It was a total pain in the ass the time I was traveling and accidentally discharged it by jamming the button in a tight-packaged bag. Turns out, they are pretty much only available online. No normal shop ever stocks them, not even electronics shops nor radio shacks. Barely anyone even heard of them. Tried disassembling a few 9V’s, but all of them were the stacked kind. And with international shipping going 2-6 weeks and me changing locations more often than that, it was an extremely difficult task to get hold of them.
Where they made by Ubisoft?
They are only sold as a temporary license. Then Ubisoft breaks into your house and takes them away.
