The eRumor includes a link to a video that shows how to take apart a 6-volt lantern battery to find 32 AA sized batteries inside. A way to save money?
The Truth:
If there is a 6-volt lantern battery out there with 32 AA cells in it, we have yet to find it.
One of our employees here at TruthOrFiction.com took apart an old 6-volt lantern battery and found 4 large cells inside, no AA cells. There are several similar reports on the Internet of folks who bought lantern batteries only to find the four larger cells, no AA cells.
We've found literally dozens of similar stories on the Internet from people who had the same experience but so far none who found the 32 AA cells.
There are also reports of finding AAAA or AAA cells in 9-volt batteries and splitting A-23 12-volt batteries into 8 1.5 volt button batteries.
A real example of the eRumor as it has appeared on the Internet:
