9V Battery
AAA Battery
A 9V battery (IEC designation 6LR61, commonly called PP3) is a rectangular battery measuring approximately 48.5mm x 26.5mm x 17.5mm with two snap terminals. Alkaline 9V cells output 9.0V nominal from six internal 1.5V cells in series, with typical capacity around 400-600 mAh.
A AAA battery (IEC designation LR03, ANSI 24A) measures 10.5mm in diameter and 44.5mm in length. Alkaline AAA cells output 1.5V nominal; NiMH rechargeable AAA cells output 1.2V. Typical alkaline capacity runs roughly 800 to 1,200 mAh depending on discharge rate.
