My daughter-in-law sent me an email with a video that has the
following advice:

Instead of paying 5 bucks or more for a package of four, AAA
batteries, buy a $4-$5 , 6 volt lantern battery instead.

These are the ones that are about 3" by 3" by 6" and have the spring
electrical connectors on the top.
Remove the label, pry off the top of the case with a screwdriver and
snip the internal wire connectors going to the springs.

Invert the case and dump out 32 brandy new AAA batteries.

???? If this is correct, she just paid you back for your son. Used to
be the wife's family gave up a nice goat or something like that.


I haven't tried it yet. Seems like the last time I opened a lantern
battery it had four "C" cells in it, but that was quite a while ago.
Maybe they have changed the design.

Here is the video. AA batteries, not AAA.

Thanks for the heads up Dick.


Don't thank me so fast. It turned out to be a hoax.

Back to the goat dowry. :-(
