Dear all :

Is it NiMH battery called in a different way ? Are there any
difference in other aspects ?

Thanks a lot .

No.

"Mignon" tells you the size of the battery.

ANSI IEC (alkaline) IEC (zinc-carbon)
------------------------------------------------------------
Mono D LR20 R20
Baby C LR14 R14
Mignon AA LR6 R6
Micro AAA LR03 R03
E-Block (9V) 1604D 6LR61 6F22

It's French for a "cute" battery, I suppose it's meant for children's
toys :)

I have a vague recollection that mignon refers to specific size of battery, possibly AA

First time I've heard of 6F22 for a 9V battery. For many decades
every transistor radio had 006P printed in the battery compartment, or
the batteries were marked with the NEDA number. Then the UK techs
called them PP something or other which I'd never heard of.

Mignon = LR6 = AA = AM3
Micro = LR03 = AAA = AM4

Have a look at
http://fr.portable.varta.com/savoir/questions_responses_2_10.html
for further infos.

It concerns the size of the battery not the nature of it (rechargeable or
not)

Yes, I know...

Batteries sold here in Sweden used to be marked by IEC standard, R6
etc. Now, the NiMH batteries sold here all seem to be manufactured in
China or Japan, and marked with AAA etc., so this kind of marking has
managed to sneak in lately.

I have seen the "Mignon" marking sometimes, usually in parentheses in
manuals. It guess it's an old French designation, as seen in the link
you provided.
