Lately all the battery driven toys I've bought use AA or AAA batteries. My clocks use one AA which makes sense. What I don't get is that the toys use 2-8 of them. Why do that instead of just a C, D or 9V? The only thing we have that uses 9V are our smoke detectors. Then our flashlight has that giant cube battery, I forget the size of it.

I guess they figure people will buy a couple of packs of large-count small batteries so they don't have to remember to get different sizes? Or maybe it's how the power is delivered from the smaller batteries versus the larger ones. *shrug*
