By beans, I mean those little batteries that you find when you dismantle old headphones and such. They don't look like batteries, just little blobs.

I am wondering if you are talking about capacitors. Like this?

No, not those. I've taken apart small electronics like headphones, and found what I thought were the "batteries," but maybe they weren't. I can't find any photos of what I am thinking of.

I can only conclude that I don't have a clue what I am talking about. Please ignore.
