Sometimes we get confused when it comes to battery size, well I personally do! So I guess it’s time to switch to AtoD Rechargeable Battery, with this battery you’ll never get the size wrong again! This particular battery is made out of memory form allowing you to control the size (down size) and put it in the product (one size fits all). The battery itself delivers 1.5 Volts of Nickel Hydroxide power, the same capacity found in a regular AA size battery. sadly, there’s no word on availability yet.

This is colossally stupid. The engineers designed the particular need for a specific sized battery for an electronic item because of that battery’s current output capacity. The description says it’s equivalent to a AA battery in capacity. Guess what, when you put that sucker in a device that requires C or D sized batteries, be prepared for a very short term period of functionality, if any.
Devices that take C or D sized cells require a lot of current capacity because they generally drain a lot of electricity in a short period of time. The size means you’ll get a longer period of usefulness out of them because of their size.
Just because it’s rechargeable doesn’t mean it’s practical. Keep the AA rechargeables for AA devices and make higher capacity C and D size batteries for those devices and you won’t be disappointed in their time between charges.
Just because you can put a AA battery in a device that was designed for D batteries, doesn’t mean you should.
It’s like sticking a VW Beetle motor in a bus. It MAY work, but not for long.
Have you ever held a rechargeable battery just after removing it from its charger? It’s warm, isn’t it? Now imagine what would happen if you were to put a thick foam blanket around that battery then charge it. The internals would become dangerously hot, perhaps even hot enough to damage the foam on the outside, releasing toxic fumes, maybe even starting a fire.
I hope this “concept” does not reach the market.
As other commenter’s have said, this is colossally stupid. In addition to the problems indicated above, memory foam … it expands. So when you squish your battery down to size and slot it into the AA sized hole it’ll expand and you’ll never get that sucker out.
I’m getting really tired of stupid designers wasting time and effort designing crap that will never, and can never work.
have the designer of this stupidity actually made a prototype, let alone tried to squeeze it in a typical 2xAA flashlight? What about the pressure of the springs, contact reliability, etc. There are about a dozen reasons why this is not practical, let alone the fact that are pretty good AAA/AA/C/D adapters out there. Yes, so you can use a AAA in a device designed for D and drain it in seconds.
