Talk:AAA battery
Page merge
I do not agree that this page should be merged. Separate articles about different battery types would be helpful, and an in-depth explanation of all battery types would be cumbersome in the Battery (electricity) article. I am interested in learning about the history of the AAA type battery, who developed the standard and why it was deemed necessary, how (and by whom) they are typically manufactured, their relative strengths and weaknesses compared with other battery types, typical uses, etc. Cacophony 00:35, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
- I also argee with Cacophony that the pages should not be merged. Zzyzx11 | Talk 01:29, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I slightly disagree - a table of battery sizes and capacities would seem to me to be a more useful way to present information than a large number of articles. I bet there's nearly half-a-million battery types out there...could double Wikipedia in short order if someone typed them all in. --Wtshymanski 02:46, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I agree with Wtshymanski. A battery table would be helpful. 06:53, June 15, 2005 (EST)
- Imho, there should be a table about the different battery types AND articles about them IN·VINO·VERITAS 11:00, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

PCB
What is a PCB? Couldn't figure it out of the context... ("The AAA is also available in a PCB Tagged version").
Anti Aircraft What?
I'm no expert but I think this is wrong. AAA batteries are not anti aircraft batteries. Clopnaz
Pronounciation
I rarely hear "Triple A", but almost always hear "ei, ei, ei". This could well be a British variant, I have never needed to ask for batteries while on holiday. Dave James Parkes 0359, Aug 09, 2007 (UTC)
- I have only ever heard "triple A" anywhere in the United States. Perhaps both pronunciations could be listed? I'm not sure if it really matters that much, but I say go for it if you want. --Younmm23 (talk) 21:00, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Capacity
I notice that it says the NiMH batteris have an amperage of 1000 mAh. i'm sitting at home right now, looking at two NiMH that claim to have a value of 1600 mAh. are these numbers values advertised, or are they tested values? if the first, this number is quite old.
