 type batteries, and consequently are not as commonly available.

Some models of alkaline nine-volt battery may consist of a bundle of six LR61 cells inside, connected together by welded tabs. These cells are somewhat similar to AAAA cells and can be used in their stead in some devices, even though they are 3.5 millimetre (0.137795275590551 in) shorter. These cells are often unmarked so special care must be taken with polarity.
