10440 Batteries – AAA-Sized Cylindrical Li-ion Cells, The High-Energy Rechargeable Upgrade
Welcome to our 10440 Batteries collection. The 10440 lithium-ion cell (approx. 10mm diameter × 44mm length) is the rechargeable Li-ion version of the standard AAA battery form factor. Sharing identical dimensions with AAA cells, it delivers a 3.7V nominal voltage (roughly 3× that of NiMH AAA) and usable capacities from 200mAh to 400mAh—making it the ideal choice for replacing disposable alkalines and upgrading legacy AAA-powered devices. This collection features both NMC (ternary lithium) and LiFePO₄ (lithium iron phosphate) chemistries, serving a wide range of applications including high-performance flashlights, headlamps, wireless mice, remote controls, digital cameras, electric toys, medical devices, and various portable electronics.
Core Advantages of 10440 Batteries
- Standard AAA Size – Perfect Compatibility: Approximately 10mm diameter × 44mm length—identical to standard AAA batteries. Direct drop-in replacement for most AAA-powered devices.
- High Voltage Platform: NMC versions deliver a nominal 3.7V (full charge 4.2V)—approximately 3× the voltage of NiMH AAA (1.2V)—providing more power and brighter illumination.
- Rechargeable – Economical & Eco-Friendly: Supports 500–1,000+ charge/discharge cycles. Replaces disposable alkalines for lower long-term cost and reduced battery waste.
- Flexible Chemistry Options: Available in both high-energy NMC (3.7V) and inherently safe LiFePO₄ (3.2V) formulations to meet diverse voltage and safety requirements.
- Low Self-Discharge: Monthly self-discharge as low as 3% ensures readiness even after extended storage—ideal for intermittently used devices.
- Lightweight Design: Weighing only 8g–10g per cell—lighter than NiMH AAA—perfect for weight-sensitive portable devices.

⚠️ 10440 Battery Safety Guidelines
- Voltage Platform Awareness: 3.2V LiFePO₄ and 3.7V NMC cells cannot be mixed or charged with the same charger. Always verify device and charger compatibility.
- Not a Universal AAA Replacement: 10440 voltage (3.7V) is significantly higher than standard 1.5V AAA cells. Connecting two 10440s in series for a 3V device may damage or destroy the device. Always confirm your device supports 3.7V Li-ion before use.
- Use a Dedicated Li-ion Charger: 10440 cells require a Li-ion-specific charger. Do not use NiMH/NiCd chargers. Some multi-bay chargers may have minimum charging currents too high for 10440; select a charger with 10440 compatibility.
- Avoid Over-Discharge: Stop discharging when voltage drops below 2.5V–2.8V (NMC) or 2.0V–2.5V (LiFePO₄). Recharge promptly to prevent permanent capacity loss.
- Avoid Short Circuits & Overheating: Do not short the terminals. Keep away from heat, moisture, and metal objects.
- Discontinue if Damaged: Stop using cells with torn wraps, dents, or leakage. Recycle responsibly.
