Yes, the alkaline PP3s have little tubular cells, not layered pile.
That's a point, are they the same size as the AAAA cells that you see in
the shops?
Anyway, glad to hear you call them PP3 and not 9V or anything else.
Try asking for a U2 and see what reaction you get.


Just as well they don't sell them. The Russians would shoot you down.


A high powers battery?
