A couple of days ago, I\u00a0was having issues with\u00a0the Surface Pen that I use with my\u00a0Surface Pro 3.\u00a0Microsoft’s Troubleshooting Surface Pen<\/a>\u00a0page\u00a0suggested I needed to replace the AAAA battery and, sure enough, a quick test on a battery tester confirmed that my battery was indeed flat.<\/p>\n

I went to Amazon and bought a pack of 4 AAAA batteries and was pretty pleased to find I could get near-instant gratification, with the batteries delivered around 4 hours later!<\/p>\n

Needed an AAAA battery for my #Surface<\/a> Pen. Ordered early afternoon. Delivered at ~17:30. Now that’s pretty awesome @AmazonUK<\/a> #Prime<\/a><\/p>\n

Then, Gary Quigley (@quiggles<\/a>) tweeted me to say that a Duracell 9V (PP3) battery has 6 AAAAs inside:<\/p>\n

\n

@markwilsonit<\/a> did you know you can pull apart a Duracell PP3 battery and it has a bunch of them inside.<\/p>\n
