But I do have a question...
How do the costs of the batteries compare? ( I use a lot of triple-As in my insulin pump and meter, so the Double-As are off my radar scope!)

[TD="width: 100%"]The Truth:
This video is a hoax.

We have not found any evidence of any 6-volt batteries that have any AA cells inside, much more 32 of them.

I'd forgotten about that rumor. I fell for it and bought an Everyready Energizer lantern battery a few years ago and cut it open. Ended up with a ruined lantern battery and a lesson learned.
