This size is also used in radio-controlled scale vehicle battery packs and some Soviet multimeters.ġ⁄ 2-, 4⁄ 5- and 5⁄ 4-sub-C sizes (differing in length) are also available. Not to be confused with the vacuum tube B battery.īA-42 (US Military Spec WWII–1980s) Ĭan be replaced with an AA cell using a plastic sabot (size adaptor), with proportional loss of capacity.Ī common size for cells inside cordless tool battery packs.

Most commonly found within a European 4.5 volt lantern battery. Various fractional sizes are also available e.g., 2⁄ 3 A and 4⁄ 5 A. More common as a NiCd or NiMH cell size than a primary size, popular in older laptop batteries and hobby battery packs. Introduced 1907, but added to ANSI standard sizes in 1947. Used in many household electronic devices Introduced 1911, but added to ANSI standard in 1959 Sometimes used in pen flashlights, laser pointers, powered styluses, calculators, fishing lures. Also used in Renishaw Probes, commonly used in CNC machines, such like ones from Haas Automation. Also used in US military MILES gear and DAGR.

Same diameter as AA battery, used in small electronics, including pulse oximeters, as well as use in some computer models (such as most pre-Intel Macintosh models and some older IBM PC compatibles) as the CMOS battery. Same diameter as AA battery, used in small electronics, including electric shaver. ( July 2011) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.

The following tables give the common battery chemistry types for the current common sizes of batteries. For example, a CR123 battery is always LiMnO 2 ('Lithium') chemistry, in addition to its unique size. The full battery designation identifies not only the size, shape and terminal layout of the battery but also the chemistry (and therefore the voltage per cell) and the number of cells in the battery. The same physically interchangeable cell size or battery size may have widely different characteristics physical interchangeability is not the sole factor in substituting a battery. The complete nomenclature for a battery specifies size, chemistry, terminal arrangement, and special characteristics. This is a list of the sizes, shapes, and general characteristics of some common primary and secondary battery types in household, automotive and light industrial use.
