   How is it you're so consistently an idiot about everything?   
      
   AAA batteries are 44.5mm tall by 10.5mm in diameter   
      
   AA batteries are 50.5mm tall by 14.mm in diameter.   
      
   AAA batteries are always physically smaller than AA batteries and   
   devices that are designed to take AAA batteries will pretty much NEVER   
   accept an AA battery.

   Wow. Wrong again!

   And if you have devices that need AAA batteries?

   Not AAA batteries.   
      
   Some do use cylindrical cells that are close in size to an AAAA battery,   
   but some 9-volt batteries don't have cylindrical cells in them at all.   
      
      
      
   You really are on a roll of ignorance today.
