why are they called AA and AAA batteries anyway

Apparently, there was an effort to standardize batteries between different manufacturers. The sizes went A, B, C, D, and smaller ones went AA, AAA, AAAA. Sizes that weren't used as often just sort of vanished.
@Griff@gulp.cafe @Felthry@awoo.space Apparently in addition to the 'A' battery mentioned on that page there was at one time an A that went with the AA and AAA that was the same width as the AA but 2.5mm longer. https://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/battery_packaging_a_look_at_old_and_new_systems
@Felthry@awoo.space And what the heck happened to A batteries that we never see them and no one talks about them?
