Yes, and the AAAA cells can be as cheap as 25c, drawer life of 5 to 10 years and in pen life of 3 to 6 months or more.
Some 9V rectangle Alkaline packs (cheap brands) use 6 cells usable as AAAA (the nub is actually - on them and they have no fake + nub, so leave the foil connection on the flat + end to make a nub). The more expensive higher capacity may use oval stacked cells. No Zinc type has round cells, because they use carbon biscuit layer cells.
Rechargeable have a fraction of run time, about 250 to 600 cycles, may self discharge and are not usually replaceable.
Wacom pens are remote induction powered by phone/ereader/tablet/digitizer add-on and can be buggy. They don't work on Kobo. Surface 1 & 2 used them but MS Surface 3 and later uses the same as Kobo, though some have an extra BT button for OneNote etc.a
