Okay, we all know how expensive those AA batteries can be. A pack of four Duracells can cost $5 or so, and things like remote controls, digital music players and a billion other household items eat them like candy. In other words, you're probably spending a small inheritance on batteries every year.
What if you could pop open one of those 6-volt, lantern-type batteries and scoop out about 32 AA batteries -- for the same (or close) price of $5? The video below explains this huge money-saving technique that is sure to become an instant classic for the frugal battery shopper in all of us.
Warning, however. Not all 6-volt batteries are busting at the seams with AAs, as there may be different types of batteries sitting in different types of 6-volt battery brands. But for an investment of $5 (maybe a few times), you just might be able to find a treasure trove of AA batteries on the 'extreme' cheap. Check the easy discovery process out below.

They never use AA batteries in 6v batteries, most likely C or D cells, or some custom size between. Although I think a 9v is 6 AAA batteries.
The article omits that you MUST wrap the AA batteries with some sort of insulating tape like electrical tape before use. The fancy label on commercial batteries is more than just decoration, it keeps the battery from shorting out by minimizing the contact pads to the top and bottom only.
