What are AA batteries? What does the aa in the battery stand for?

As mentioned before, all AA batteries are fixed size cylindrical batteries. Although the size is the same, according to the battery material, aa batteries can also be divided into different types, such as non-rechargeable aa batteries and rechargeable aa batteries. Non-rechargeable batteries are also called dry batteries. Dry battery is a disposable battery commonly used in daily life, which is light in weight and easy to carry. AA batteries are commonly used in portable electronic devices.

AA batteries consist of a single electrochemical cell, which can be primary (disposable) or rechargeable. AA primary batteries are usually made of a zinc can as the anode and a carbon rod as the cathode, filled with electrolyte slurry in the middle. They are used in smoke detectors, remote controls, e-cigarettes and other devices. Well, it's not an acronym. aa is the battery model, meaning the battery is twice the size. The aa of aa battery refers to the size of the battery, that is, the height of the battery is 48mm and the diameter is 18mm.

What is the difference between AA lithium battery and ordinary lithium ion battery (18650, 21700)?


Regular lithium batteries (18650, 21700) and lithium batteries are both lithium-ion batteries, but they differ in several key ways.

● Different sizes, AA battery height is 48mm, diameter is 18mm. 18 of the 18560 battery represents a diameter of 18mm, 65 represents a height of 65mm, and 0 represents a cylindrical battery. The 21700 battery is also a cylindrical lithium battery, the new 21700 battery is 21mm in diameter and 70mm in length.

● The voltage is different, the voltage of aa battery is generally 1.5v, while the voltage of 18650 battery and 21700 battery is generally 3.2v.

● The cycle life is different. The cycle life of conventional aa batteries is generally 1000 cycles. The cycle life of 18650 batteries and 21700 batteries can reach 4000 cycles.

● Different application scenarios, 21700 batteries and 18650 batteries are mainly used in electric vehicles.

How long can the rechargeable AA batteries last? Which lasts the longest?

On average, high-quality rechargeable batteries last between 500 and 1,000 charges. However, many conditions, such as battery capacity, battery type, maintenance requirements and frequency of use, can affect this number. If you use AA batteries in high power devices like digital cameras, they won't last as long as in low power devices like remote controls. Rechargeable AA lithium batteries have the longest lifespan of all AA battery types. When used properly, lithium batteries can last up to nine years. So lithium batteries are an excellent choice for most electronic products.

How to charge the lithium battery?

If you're using an aa lithium battery, you'll have to take some extra steps to charge it properly.

Make sure you are using the correct type of charger. Lithium batteries require a special charger that can handle higher voltages.
Do not overcharge the battery. Lithium batteries may be damaged if charged too high.
Do not leave the battery charging unattended, and store the battery in a dry, well-ventilated place.
Do not charge the battery in extreme temperatures.
When the battery is fully charged and ready to use, allow it to cool down before use.
These tips will help keep your battery safe and extend its lifespan.
