jypagan Posted September 18, 2007 CID Share Posted September 18, 2007 shopping list: 5ea. 6v Batterys I cant believe this i agree why we never knew about this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbed Posted September 18, 2007 CID Share Posted September 18, 2007 for some reason I dont believe this would be as efficient as a standard AA battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disturbed Posted September 19, 2007 CID Share Posted September 19, 2007 well to build 6v with 1.5 volt batteries you need 4 of those babies connected in series ? yes ? ....i watched the video over and over again and to me it didnt appear that that big battery had 4 rows of batteries, it seemed to be 2 (4 x 4 in each row, and 2 rows = 32 total)... and if there are 2 rows only it would mean each battery is then 3v and not 1.5v that equals a standard AA size battery ....just something to consider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted September 19, 2007 CID Share Posted September 19, 2007 for some reason I dont believe this would be as efficient as a standard AA battery I agree, You would have to find out if they were connected in series or parallel , they may have a smaller amperage and may not power you device properly. I'll check one out this weekend. This could be awesome : ) Like disturbed said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbed Posted September 19, 2007 CID Share Posted September 19, 2007 but yeah, all we need is someone to go out and buy a certain brand of this particular battery to see exactly what we are dealing with here.... these bigger batteries are usually built for delivering a lot more current since they have smaller batteries connected in parallel...kinda like the car battery, which is only rated for 12.XX volts - the reason why its so big is because its delivering a lot of current to other electrical car parts....200A+ or something like that I think...

xs1 Posted September 19, 2007 CID Share Posted September 19, 2007 Thats so awesome.. But yea ill have to agree... will each battery power the same as a standard AA ? hmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kamil234 Posted September 19, 2007 CID Share Posted September 19, 2007 i dont think these are as powerful as regular aa batteries (in mini-amperes way) some batteries are 1500mAH these are like 800 propably. MAYBE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs1 Posted September 19, 2007 CID Share Posted September 19, 2007 Well it also has to be thought of in the device aspect as well... a remote.. i mean common.. what are we losing here.... 1 week of use? A cd player..... mabey 6 tracks less ? .. Lots to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn0 Posted September 19, 2007 CID Share Posted September 19, 2007 I thought I knew almost everything, but Shug has proven me wrong again. I will have to try this, too. My luck I will blast ammonium chloride, magnesium dioxide and carbon powder into my eyes and blind myself. ( I love Wikipedia - or you can go on thinking that I actually knew what was in a standard battery ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stank_Ho Posted September 19, 2007 CID Share Posted September 19, 2007 LOL, I agree. Usually when a screwdriver is involved in prying something open, it means I'm probably impaling my leg when the screwdriver slips off the thing I'm prying. Who is Murphy and is he related to me somehow? I wonder... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resopalrabotnick Posted September 19, 2007 CID Share Posted September 19, 2007 i never knew this either, just saw it on break and wanted to post it. so 32 AAs means 8 in parallel times 4 with the 4 blocks of eight in series to get the 6 volts. remember, a AAA AA C or D is not a battery. it is in actuality just a cell that happens to deliver 1.5 volts. that is why the 6 and 9 volt batteries have multiple cels (hence a BATTERY of cells.) the lead acid cell in a car battery has 1.2 volts, same as a NiCd cell. NimH and LiIon cells to my knowledge deliver 1.5 volts again, but i would have to check that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilatedpeoples28 Posted September 20, 2007 CID Share Posted September 20, 2007 heres a video that disproves this to a point. Warning language at the end. http://www.break.com/index/lantern-battery-trick-fails.html it could depend on the brand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted September 20, 2007 CID Share Posted September 20, 2007 and i have to recant a statement. the lead acid battery cells in car batteries and similar produce 2 volts. so you have 6 cells per battery. as to the video, makes sense. i guess it does depend on the brand. some mfrs (maybe the cheap noname ones as pictured in the original vid) will just pull AAs off their standard line while the bigger name brand ones will manufacture a dedicated larger cell for the 6V (which makes sense, since the one big cell should have better performance than the 8 small cells in parallel, so putting just the 4 big cells in series should give a better battery) edit: and if you need a 1.5 volt power source independent of the size then that one big cell is probably a very nice thing to have as well.
