The modern high capacity batteries tend to push the size limit for AA cells and on my MK-52, four in a row don't fit the battery compartment. It isn't so bad with the MK-61. Carbon batteries are also slight higher voltage.

The mechanical construction of these calculators are dreadful.

I tried some flat-top AA (which I had bought for Woodstock HPs) in my MK-52. The fit is a good bit better as they are shorter.

Ditto on the mechanical construction critique. Capitalism 1, Marxism 0.
