Hard to believe! > > > > http://www.metacafe.com/watch/824477/6_volt_battery_hack_youll_be_amazed/ I had a vague recollection of dismantling a 6 volt lantern battery years ago and seeing something other than AA batteries, but, hey, maybe they have changed things. The first one was almost believable, until I saw the second one. Now on the it-really-is-true-and-you-can-save-money side, if you have an older HP calculator (HP10C, HP12C, HP15C), they use three A76, LR44, SR44, or 357. These, at Radio Shack, cost about $5, making it rather pricey to re-power one's calculator. The 4LR44 or 4SR44 battery, however, REALLY DOES have four of the cells inside a metal can, and they cost about the same. The young sales clerk was astounded when I bought a 4LR44 and opened it up in front of him, placed three of the cells in my calculator, and had one left over.
