@cengland0 For a long time, janitorial supply places and a few other outlets had three volt batteries that were the diameter of a D cell, and twice as long. Of course, what they really were was a thin cardboard tube with two ordinary D cells inside it. They pretty much vanished from the market about 20 years ago, although a few suppliers of flashlights for government contracts still coughed them up with some regularity. Yes, part of the reason for their existence was so that your friendly neighborhood federal government could spend more money on a thing that they could have bought more cheaply at any local store.
Does your device require a C battery, but you don’t have one? Stick an AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA battery in it! Does it need a 9v battery? Use this AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Those annoying button batteries? This AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA will do the trick!
Idk, maybe with converter cases or something and it will magically do the job you need.
@thebigtverberg Why would the big manufacturers jump on something that would jeopardize their ability to sell tons and tons and tons of very profitable alkaline batteries that are guaranteed to go bad before people finish using them?
Removeable batteries for cell phones, so you can just have as many as you need to get through your day, and also not have to replace your whole phone every couple years just to get better battery life.
Wait, has that been done before??
B
@yakkoTDI Been there have that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_battery_sizes
Double D
DD
@cengland0 Double D’s are already available to get your motor running!
@cengland0 @hchavers
Correct. But they are a trifle pricey.

@werehatrack Although my comment was a joke, it is interesting to know that DD batteries already exist. The image looks like a standard 18650 though.

@cengland0 @werehatrack
I think he’s asking for:
@cengland0 @Kyeh @werehatrack
A pair of 45’s made me open my eyes
@blaineg @cengland0 @werehatrack Huh - I never made out those particular lyrics before!
By the way, they already have AAAA batteries and I use them in my green laser pointer.
@cengland0
Yep.
Sounds Fonzi sized
Eh?
@werehatrack Made in Canada.
@ircon96 Beauty!
Bacon-scented batteries.
AAAA batteries exist, I have a few.
@PooltoyWolf this is why I signed in
Salted batteries?
@phendrick Or salted caramel
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Some that don’t scream.
OOOOs, maybe.
ZZZ, a very tired battery. As opposed to MMM, a very delicious battery or XXX a very sexy battery.
Size ∞. They never run out.
@kostia
Oh, yes - that’s what I want too.
@kostia You’ve crystallized my thoughts eloquently, that’s the perfect “name” for them! I was just gonna say, “non-disposable & never need charging.”
I have a stash of 50+ AAAA batteries. So they already exist. They should really make single A batteries . . .
@hammi99 I hope you keep them in the fridge… If not, don’t tell @shahnm!
@hammi99 @ircon96 I’ll find out. I always find out.
@hammi99 @shahnm
@hammi99 They did make A batteries at one time, they just don’t anymore. They were large, boxy things usually used for old radios.
@PooltoyWolf oh wow definitely before my time!
Dependable 1.5v lithium rechargeable. Seriously, why don’t the big brands jump on that?!
@thebigtverberg I have this brand and love them. They work in everything unlike NiMh batteries. Expensive but worth it.

@cengland0 @thebigtverberg Cool!
Self-refrigerating batteries.
@ThunderChicken
Candy corn
@somf69 Would that be along the idea of a potato battery?
Or is that just your default answer to all the polls? 
@ircon96 @somf69
https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/highest-voltage-from-a-potato-battery
1,950 volts.
@blaineg @somf69 Wow. The dedication of some people… Lol
People still buy Alkaline batteries?
Removeable batteries for cell phones, so you can just have as many as you need to get through your day, and also not have to replace your whole phone every couple years just to get better battery life.

@jester747 No, it was only a dream. The only thing people want from phones is THIN. So spake the corporations.
ABBA - duh
69V
@kittykat9180 You can get a 72V battery for an electric forklift, is that close enough?
@kittykat9180 @werehatrack Evidently forking requires more voltage
