Default Why aren't AA batteries square?

Only genuine layer batteries deserve the term battery. You can't have a
battery of one gun. Nor one of one cell.

And yes, I too call AAs "batteries".

the pathological attention whore of all the uk ngs, blathered again:

So it doesn't deserve it but you do it anyway? Make up your mind.


So you know that you are a driveling idiot, but you will drivel anyway, eh,
Birdbrain? VBG

Guns in batteries are side by side. Maybe electrical batteries should
have cells side by side. And facing the same direction.

Not necessarily, particularly with naval and anti aircraft gun batterys.

Plenty do.

And facing the same direction.
