Can I use AAA instead of AA batteries?

Yes you can also use AAA batteries, but they are not meant to provide such a high current (1 amp), so their efficiency will be lower.

Batteries don’t contain hazardous or toxic materials and can be disposed as a regular domestic waste. However, we don’t want you to charge your iPhone every day with Oivo. So when you do it, please charge it as much as you really need and reuse the batteries to power your home devices (TV remotes, clocks…)
