Spherical battery cells would be even stronger than cylindrical with an
even greater volume to area ratio but would be more expensive to
manufacture and assemble into a high density battery pack.

In the case of a single cell "battery" such as those prismatic types
used in mobile (cell) phones and tablets, a spherical cell just wouldn't
be a very good fit inside of what is essentially a small slimline
rectangular box.

Oh, and answering the OP's question, they wouldn't be AA cells if they
were "square". The designation of "AA" or "R6" mandates their cylindrical
shape so the question, as posed, is rather pointless which considering
the source, should come as no surprise.

Your last paragraph is a circular argument :-)

No, it exposes what kind of a pointless idiot, i.e. troll, you are, Hucker!

The vast majority of us unbderstood there was only one that didn't understand
but then again he can't work out the advantages of wearing clothes so we shouldn't expect too much.

I've proved there is no advantage.

No ou haven't, in fact yuo;ve proved the opposite.

Hardly mindlessly, when it;s all over the world, even between those that have never communicated before.

Internet.

When livingstone went out into the wilds of Africa there was no internet,
same with the eygptians who wore clothes long before they ordered them from amazon.

Forget Sheldon Cooper's suggestion.

AA batteries are that shape so they fit into fit a vibrator.

We don't need cars, but they allow us to go further. For example I can travel to somewhere more scenic to go hillwalking.

Animals don't need car to travel, even 1000s of miles.
