What is the difference between AA and AAA batteries? Will the output voltage of 3 AAA and 4AA be same?

Caveat being that the OP didn't specify series or parallel wiring, so we can't be sure which is the right answer.CWatters said:No. The voltage of 3AAA will be around 4.5V and 4AA will be around 6V.
More total energy for sure, more current probably -- that's a function of internal resistance of the battery, which should be lower for the AA.Karmaslap said:Jumping onto his thread for a question I had, will AA batteries output more current than AAA will?
Both AA and AAA batteries are commonly used in household devices such as remote controls, flashlights, and toys. While they may look similar, there are a few key differences between the two.
The letters "AA" and "AAA" are simply a standardized way of referring to the size and shape of the battery. "AA" is short for "ANSI AA size", and "AAA" stands for "ANSI AAA size". These sizes were established by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
AA batteries are larger than AAA batteries in both length and diameter. The dimensions of a AA battery are approximately 50.5mm in length and 14.5mm in diameter. In comparison, AAA batteries are about 44.5mm in length and 10.5mm in diameter.
No, AA and AAA batteries do not have the same voltage. AA batteries typically have a voltage of 1.5 volts, while AAA batteries have a voltage of 1.2 volts. This means that AA batteries have a slightly higher power output and can last longer in high-drain devices.
In most cases, AA and AAA batteries are not interchangeable. This is because they have different sizes, voltages, and capacities. However, some devices may be designed to fit both AA and AAA batteries, and in those cases, they can be used interchangeably.
The type of battery you should use for your device depends on its specifications and requirements. It is important to always refer to the manual or manufacturer's instructions to determine the correct battery size and voltage for your device. Using the wrong type of battery can potentially damage your device or cause it to not function properly.
