Before you stock up on 6V lantern batteries to cash in on Lifehacker’s Get 32 AA Batteries from a Single 6 Volt Battery tip, take a gander at the horrifying discovery I made tonight (in a frantic effort to scrounge up enough batteries to power my Pignose amp.)
Inside a 6 volt Heavy Duty Eveready lantern battery you’ll find batteries all right–four useless batteries roughly 3/4″ longer than a D cell.
Guess you can’t believe everything you read on the internets. (Maybe the title Gagfilms should have tipped me off.)
