A new kitchen scale eats a quartet of AAA alkaline cells every month, so a set of bucked lithium AAA cells make sense:
The cells claim 1200 mA·hr capacity, because it looks much more impressive than 1.2 A·hr, and deliver 900 mA·hr at 500 mA, likely higher than the scale’s actual load current.
The old Sony DSC-H5 works well with the light box and gets a pair of bucked lithium AA cells to replace the tired Eneloops:
They claim 3000 mA·hr and deliver 2.5 A·hr at 500 mA: nearly perfect, considering some of the junk I’ve gotten over the years.
Now, to see how they behave in real life …

My old OXO 5 pound scale is approaching end of life, with the power/tare membrane switch button acting up. I don’t wish to do surgery on it, but I’ve had fair success with that scale. Two AAA batteries last about a year, while the nearest OXO replacement (https://tinyurl.com/mtp4ejad) uses 4 AAAs, but adds a backlight. We’ll see if my generous supply of Duracells works, or if I need to go rechargeable. I’m running into more and more small electronics that are using AAAs rather than AAs.
My old Handspring Visor had an impressive appetite for AAAs, one of the reasons I stopped using it long ago.
