Teken Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 I was at Best Buy today to just roam around to see what they had in terms of HA. The usual suspects were represented and a few I’ve never heard of. As I was leaving the store they had two very large battery displays. I was quite struck as to how many specialty batteries were on hand. Probably more than eight - ten years ago there was a on going blog about how AAAA batteries would take over the market. Well, eight - ten years later I have yet to lay eyes on a single consumer electronic device which use a AAAA battery cell. Anyone rockin these batteries in their electronics and if so what is it?!?

KeviNH Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 I had a true "pen light" that took AAAA cells. Never found replacement batteries anywhere but Grainger, was cheaper to just tear down alkaline 9V to get six bare cells, soldered together: (not my picture)
larryllix Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 As an aside, I have always tested 9V batteries by shocking my tongue. Only a good 9v will give you a strong bite. Years back I picked one in a dental office and tried it. I thought it would snap my tongue down the back of my throat. OUCH! Turns out, some dental appliances (tooth nerve tester) use a 27 volt battery that is an identical size, and terminal post style, to 9v batteries.
Mecheng70 Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 I have had to purchase an AAAA battery for a pen for the ipad.
DennisC Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 I have a LED pen light with a 7" long flexible arm that use AAAA batteries. Have had it for 5+ years. https://www.amazon.com/Streamlight-65618-Stylus-Flexible-Extension/dp/B00008BFS6
