A Li-ion 1.5V AA-size battery, sold by the Chinese company Kentli as "Kentli PH5" since 2014 and with similar batteries later available from other suppliers is a AA-sized battery housing containing a rechargeable 3.7 V Li-ion cell with an internal buck converter at the positive terminal to reduce the output voltage to 1.5 V. [19] The Kentli ...
The amount of electrical current an alkaline battery can deliver is roughly proportional to its physical size. This is a result of decreasing internal resistance as the internal surface area of the cell increases. A rule of thumb is that an AA alkaline battery can deliver 700 mA without any significant heating. Larger cells, such as C and D ...
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. For example, a CR123 battery is always LiMnO 2 ('Lithium') chemistry, in addition to its unique size.
The first generation rechargeable alkaline batteries were introduced by Union Carbide and Mallory in the early 1970s. [3] [5] Several patents were introduced after Union Carbide's product discontinuation and eventually, in 1986, Battery Technologies Inc of Canada was founded to commercially develop a 2nd generation product based on those patents, under the trademark "RAM".
Because the current is constant, the area under the graph is proportional to the energy extracted from the battery (i.e. the work done in the load). An area of 1 hour * 0.1V is equivalent to an energy of 3600s * 0.1V * 100mA = 10mWh or 36J. Marked on the graph are two voltages: 1.1 and 1.3V.
By 1934, the system had been revised and extended to 17 sizes ranging from NS at 7 ⁄ 16 inch diameter by 3 ⁄ 4 inch height, through size J at 1 + 3 ⁄ 4 inches diameter by 5 + 7 ⁄ 8 inches high, to the largest standard cell which retained its old designation of No. 6 and which was 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches in diameter and 6 inches high.

For example, a battery rated at 2 A·h for a 10- or 20-hour discharge would not sustain a current of 1 A for a full two hours as its stated capacity suggests. The C-rate is a measure of the rate at which a battery is being charged or discharged.
