- "AAA battery" may also be an abbreviation for "antiaircraft
artillery battery"
An AAA
battery (pronounced "triple A") is 44.5 mm long and 10.5 mm
in diameter, weighing around 11.5 grams.
Output of
alkaline batteries in this size is 1.5
volts,
900 to 1,155
mA·h
(3240 to 4158
coulombs). Modern
nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries of this size can store
up to about 1000 mAh, with an output of 1.2
volts.
The battery is also classified as LR03 (IEC),
24A (ANSI/NEDA),
R03, MN2400, AM4, UM4, HP16,
or micro.
It is commonly used in small electronic devices, such as TV
remote controls, MP3-Players and digital cameras. Devices that
require the same power but a battery that has a greater life
time usually choose the
AA battery type.
The AAA is also available in a PCB Tagged version, 10.5mm x
43.7mm, weighing 13g. These tagged AAA batteries are NiMh
rechargeable as such will charge from the PCB they are soldered
onto.
