Was asked to look at some re-chargeable cordless headphones a pal has
which needed new batteries.

Standard AAA cell - but the housing was different to normal, the negative
contact, which went to the side, rather than bottom, of the cell. The
originals having the sleeve cut off short to allow this.

And I've no idea why - apart to make it more difficult for user
replacement. Unless to prevent using alkaline?
