The CR2477 is one of the largest coin cell batterys (20mm diameter and 4.7mm thickness) and has a capacity of ~1000 mAh.
An Alkaline AA battery can supply 1.5V with a capacity of 1800–2600 mAh
(Haven't found a good way to embed maths equations in the README and have them render in the Project page of the repo, there's http://www.sciweavers.org/free-online-latex-equation-editor and http://latex.codecogs.com/ but they require editing the equation through their website.)
