Notes

  • Battery type lists the name of the battery module. When no name is applicable (for e.g. generic batteries like alkaline dry cells), the battery type follows the IEC battery type format.
  • Release years were mostly just guesses since there isn't much reliable information of when a specific product was released overall.
