Is there a difference in AAA batteries?

Table of Contents

AAA batteries differ greatly in chemistry and hence they differ in capacity, voltage, current/voltage discharging characteristics, and many other features, which may be of great importance when powering sensitive electronic equipment.

What should AAA batteries read?

A reading of 1.3 to 1.5 volts means the battery is good. A brand new battery might show a higher voltage level. Reading at 1.6 or slightly higher is not uncommon, and this is the reason for setting the DCV to a level of 20 volts as the maximum threshold.

What do the A in batteries mean?

Currently voted the best answer. The letters on a battery give the size, in height and width, of the battery. AA means “50.5mm x 14.5mm.” The later the letter the larger the battery. “D” is larger than “C”, etc. “A” is larger than “AA” is larger than “AAA”.

What is AA and AAA in battery?

AA doesn’t stand for anything. It is simply an identifier for a battery of given dimensions and nominal voltage. AAA batteries are smaller in size as compared to AA. The Size of both batteries matter as they can only operate on size-specific devices.

Is 1.5 V same as AAA?

As already mentioned earlier, AAA power cells can be both rechargeable and disposable batteries. For instance, Alkaline batteries have the nominal voltage of 1.5V.

Can I use AA instead of AAA?

Similarly with C or D batteries in AA or AAA slots. All the same voltage, so all can substitute for each other. Larger cells just sag less and last longer.

What voltage is a AAA battery?

Generally, Panasonic eneloop AAA batteries have an initial voltage of around 1.2V. Appliances and devices that require AAA batteries are usually designed to work within the range of 0.9 to 1.5V.

Is AA or AAA better?

Since AAA is the highest level of minor league baseball, many people will assume it has better talent than AA since it is higher. That means that a AAA roster has to send down players to a lower level to make space for an MLB star to play a few games. AA baseball is generally where the future talent plays baseball.
