The AAA battery beside the AAAA and the AA

The AAA is number 2 of the 11 IEC 60086 batteries published here, listed from AAAA to CR123A.

• Diameter (d): 9.5 to 10.5 mm on the AAA battery, against 7.7 to 8.3 mm on the AAAA and 13.5 to 14.5 mm on the AA.
• Overall height (h): 43.3 to 44.5 mm on the AAA battery, against 41.5 to 42.5 mm on the AAAA and 49.2 to 50.5 mm on the AA.
• Positive contact diameter (d_pos): up to 3.8 mm on the AAA battery, against up to 3.8 mm on the AAAA and up to 5.5 mm on the AA.
• Positive contact projection (h_pos): at least 0.8 mm on the AAA battery, against at least 0.7 mm on the AAAA and at least 1 mm on the AA.
• Negative contact diameter (d_neg): at least 4.3 mm on the AAA battery, against at least 2.3 mm on the AAAA and at least 7 mm on the AA.
• Negative contact recess (e_neg): up to 0.5 mm on the AAA battery, the same on the AA.
