What device even uses this??
But… does the mythical A battery exist?
Every battery is a battery.
Most “batteries” are in fact cells.
This is why humans make good batteries.
Humans make terrible batteries, you leave one in a box for 6 months, you come back to a soggy, very stinky box.
Humans are much better as low power space heaters. As long as they have fuel, they’ll maintain a known temperature.

Is a battery with one cell still a battery? Is an empty library still a library? Is an empty breadbox still a breadbox?
A battery has many faces. A battery has no name.
It would appear
sonot.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.
That’s preposterous

There are six of these in some 9V piles
Which was the secret knowledge for those of us with pen lights or active stylii back in the day that required AAAA cells. And then you’d find a cheap brand of 9v that actually had a stack of nonstandard square cells inside it instead… Bastards.
Certain lantern batteries are filled with AAs as well
I’ve got one that takes AA’s OR 18650’s. Its pretty sweet.
I remember when I had a surface tablet, the stylus thing used a AAAA battery
Where they made by Ubisoft?
They are only sold as a temporary license. Then Ubisoft breaks into your house and takes them away.
It’s what 9v batteries are made of. 6 AAAA batteries in a box.
Some are. Others are stacked like this:
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 to get hold of them.
When Dan’s Data reviewed these, he said something like “even if you use this in space, you are still no further away from a shop that sells replacements than you would be at home”
The stylus on a surface pro 7 uses one.
My old Genius graphics tablet used AAA batteries, as it was from the times when Wacom’s patents on battery-free pens haven’t expired.
I use them in my active pens.
/c/sounding
Lemmy has bathymetry enthusiasts?
I had a pen and pad that copied what it wrote onto a palm pilot that used these.
Every single 9 volt battery you’ve used and original Surface Pen.
Only name brand. Take apart a discount 9V and it’s just one big pile.
I’ve only seen the stack one, but I took apart lots of procells
At what amount of As does it indicate the battery is just screaming?
According to Dankpods, it’s 3. But that’s a shriek, not a scream.
Old laser pointers used to use quad-As
Old ones
wacom stylus!
I despise and ignore battery powered electronics that don’t need 18650s. And i use Arch, BTW. :p
that don’t need 18650s.
Could you elaborate/educate?
SMH, 26650’s are the only thing worth a grain of salt. LFS superiority!
