People are discovering you can use AAA batteries in AA devices

Doesn't look like the safest solution

A TikToker has explained to people how you can use AAA batteries in devices that need AA batteries. The AA battery is a bit of a staple of the modern world, powering all sorts of devices in our homes. The main one that comes to mind is probably a gaming controller. There are few more annoying things than being in the middle of a game, whether it's online with mates or solo taking on the big boss, and the batteries go. You've ignored the low battery warning for hours, and not you're paying the price. You search high and low around the house for some spares, but this is the 10th time this has happened, and every time you've told yourself "I'll pick up some more batteries next time I go to the shops", only to forget every single time. But instead of having to trek to the shops (if they're open), there may be a workaround you can use that will mean you can temporarily use the little AAAs in the TV remote instead. By using some aluminium tin foil, you can increase their length so they fit in the AA-sized gap. Related links:
