Thread: 6 Volt Lantern Battery Hack

  1. #1

    Unhappy 6 Volt Lantern Battery Hack

    My son sent me a little video re 6 volt batteries. Basically, if you pry the top off of a 6 volt lantern battery and snip the wires inside you will have 32 AA cells. Since a 6 volt lantern battery retails for about 5 or 6 bucks, well you figure the savings. I tried to attach the video, but I don't think it worked.

    Oops - disregard the above and beat me to death with the club of stupidity.....

    Cool Hi!

    So why don't you head over to the "introduction area & tell us about yourself so we know who we're listening too?

    Actually, that's a fake. There are no batteries inside.

    I can see we're going to have to drag you kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

    Hacking (English verb to hack, singular noun a hack) refers to the re-configuring or re-programming of a system to function in ways not facilitated by the owner, administrator, or designer.

    Actually it's spelled that way in the Snopes report, so that tells me it was spelled that way in the video.
