Actually it's 6 cells and modern ones are cylindrical and about 7 mm diameter and as tall as the battery. Just pry off the metal foil that holds them together. They won't shock you and the chemicals won't hurt you even if you break a cell. Wash your hands if that happens. It's no stronger than an old lye-based soap. Watch the polarity though. The little ends are negative rather than the other way around for D and C cells. Some older 9 volt batteries were made with a stack of rectangular cells. They're all probably too old to use now. I'll put some pictures together and write up a how-to but probably not before the weekend. -- --> There are 10 kinds of people: those who understand binary, and those who don't <-- -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
