Buying Batteries in China: Battery Numbering Nomenclature [Random]


China uses a different naming convention for batteries than the US. Specifically, numbers are used instead of letters.  The number to letter mapping is: 
Battery #1 is D.
Battery #2 is C. 
Battery #5 (5号电池) is AA. 
Battery #7 is AAA. 

I suppose the numbering goes from big batteries (in size) to smaller batteries.
