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.

Well not std then, Panasonic had them as a HHR-4AH


Since my other post I got curious and see they are sill obtainable
just if this supplier really does have them

if you want to replace the originals as is.

Fush moi. 5 quid a cell for AAAs. ;-) See why now they did this.

Removing the bottom part of the sleeve from Lidl ones has done the job.
