is there a 3V bat the same size as 1.5V AAA?

why not use the new litium recharable 3.7v AAA. I think they said there was an AAA now. Check a thread talking about the AA. Should be recent.

You are thinking of a 3V LiMnO2 cell? I don't think it exists. I wish it did. There are Li-ion AAA cells which are 3.6V nominal, 4.2V fully charged. I have seen 3.68V lithium thionyl chloride AAA cells but they are only capable of a mA or so. I remember in the late 80's they were $14 each in small quantities. I still have one around somewhere that I got as a manufacturer's sample.

get AAA LiON like i use in nano, and make an LDO driver.. you can run it 450mA.. limit of the battery.

charger for 3.6V AAA sized li-ionbat?
Ok found the battery, now what about a charger?
Would a qualcomm 3.6v lith ion cell phone charger work?
Its for piggy back batteries that snap onto a 2760 phone.
The charger has 4 connect pins for what?
2 for charging, 2 for monitoring?
Thanks in advance

Re: charger for 3.6V AAA sized li-ionbat?
usually the extra pins on a battery pack are for charging.. the charger goes through a thermistor or other electronic circuitry that can disconnect the battery from charging.. so.. a problem is.. is the charger a smart charger that knows how to cut down the charge rate when the battery gets over 4.1 V or not, and does it know how to deal with the charge curve of the battery and shut off for other reasons than just max V... for example.. a worn battery may only get to 4.14V.. so if it is trying to charge to 4.2 and it never gets there.. it'll pump in current forever and wreck the battery.
