So, loads of gadgets take 2AA cells opposed like the pic for 3V

Does anyone make a combined Lithium Ion pack like this? If not, seems a missed opportunity...3V, USB socket for charging...perfick

Tried googling but very hard to find right search terms, not found owt
Two double A batteries side by side, but opposed polarities, like you'd use in devices needing 3V
