I have been carrying one of these for the last 5 years.

You don't buy AAAA batteries just anywhere! Batteries Plus and Interstate
Batteries are the only place I can find them.

Actually, I know the duracell 9v battery is made with 6 AAAA batteries.
The last time I needed one, also for a digitizing pen, a friend told me
about the duracells.
My wife has a digitizing tablet made by Cross (the people who make Cross
pens) that uses 2 AAAA batteries in the pen. Ony place we've found that
carries them is Fry's

Got a couple of uses. Of course, there is the really slick,
single LED flashlight (and I would REALLY like to find either one of
the two I have-or had). Also, tablet computers that use a pen for
input use a single AAAA battery in the pen to power it.
Actually, IIRC, we use them a lot more than we might think,
because a 9V battery is a bundle of AAAA batteries...

I've got a USB Sketching Pad device whose pen uses one AAAA battery. Tough
to find locally, except at Battery Warehouse which soaks you for anything
the slightest bit unusual -- but still far too low price to bother ordering
off the web and paying shipping for.

My $300 laser pointer uses two of them... And I can hit a reflective street
sign going over a slight hill on the highway at over a mile away with no
problem. ...Or at least I could back in the 90's when you wouldn't get
arrested for playing with those things.
I've still got it around here somewhere if you want me to dig it out and see
who makes it.

Some very tiny penlights use them. If you need some rip open a 9v battery
and you get 6 (not all 9v batteries are made that way though, so you may
have to try a couple until you find the brand that works)
Thanks, curiosity got the best of me so I found a dead 9V and
disemboweled it. Now I know what size those little buggers are!

Hi Dave,
Yeah, I got a good un! My wife and I both have Glucometers that use them.
The ones in my Freestyle died once. Only place I could find that had them
was Radio Shack. Told them my name was Bill Clinton and my address was 1600
Pennsylvania Ave. Washington. No way were they going to get me on their
mailing list again. Took ten years to get off the last time.
Later,
Beej
Nik,

My Wacom digitizer is going on 10 year old and is still working fine.
It's not as pretty as it once was, but the trusty Art Z II is still
compatible with both Winders and portable trackballs. AFAIK, the pens
don't use batteries at all.

FWIW I have bought at least 4 or 5 Wacom PenPartner tablets between work and
home use. There is one one the desk beside me right now. They work well,
are now cheap (about $100) and don't need batteries.
One of the things I like about them is they don't screw up the "generic"
mouse settings. When you set the acceleration and/or buttons of the Wacom
mouse, it doesn't assume it is the ONLY mouse connected to your system and
hijack the settings of all the other mice you may have installed. (My work
computer has 4 pointing devices installed -- a PS/2 mouse in left hand mode,
and a trackball and two optical mice in right hand mode. Wacom would work
well in this environment since it wouldn't change all attached mice into the
same "handedness" as EVERY SINGLE OTHER driver I have tested insists on
doing.)
The only relationship I have with Wacom is a multiple repeat buyer of their
products.

It's some odd Pommy size. ;) Hey, Walgreens carries them. =:0
It looks like a slim flashlight, the Streamlight Stylus, uses them,
too.

I surely have. I have a stylus for a digitizing pad for my PC that used an
AAAA battery. The pen apparently emits a small electric/radio signal that
the digitizing pad picks up so it knows where the pen it. It was a cute
idea, but I don't do enough drawing on my PC to make it worth the desktop
real estate. It is off in a box of Shelfware now.

I have a red LED penlight, not much thicker than a standard # pencil,
that uses them. Nice for night work checking notes, maps, etc. without
ruining your night vision. Bright little devil on top of everything
else. Manufactured by Streamlight the high-end rechargeable aluminum
flashlight folks.
Don't think I've ever seen another device that uses them but imagine
there must be.
Damn nice little light.
Used to order them in pairs from Radioshack Unlimited when I worked
there back in the dark days...

I have a laser flashlight that is only slightly larger in diameter than a
ball point pen. It uses AAAA batteries.
