There are 'many' standards. I redid one pack for a phone that had
shorter than normal AA's, with standard-sized ones. It was just a
matter of breaking out a plastic tab in the battery compartment. Given
that there was room inside for the standard cells, I can only assume the
company (V-Tech) used the smaller cells to save money. It worked fine.


That sounds like the AE cells I had to use for old Regency handheld
battery packs. BTW, I used an old business card to cover the ends of the
cells before I heat shrink that thin white sleeve over the cells to
prevent shorts. I also used a fine line Sharpie to write the date and
customer's name on the heatshrink first, which leaves a permanent
marking that can only be removed by cutting it away. It keeps people
with lots of the same battery packs from claiming a pack didn't last
through the warranty.
