Question? Think about it! One "AA" battery is 1.5V, so how does 32 of them equal 6V? If there was 32 "AA" batteries in a 6v Lantern Battery, then they have to be 0.1875V each. :?: I also got 4 “D” cells. Question? Think about it!

One of your coins probably completed the circuit between the two poles of the battery, thus generating the heat. You say it heaated up your change.

Before I left home I worked on my lap-top for a few minutes and suddenly realized that my leg was burning for some reason. I reached into my pocket and found that the 9 volt battery was so hot I could not hold it in my hand in fact it was so hot I was afraid it would burn the carpet so I kicked out the front door. The heat from the battery heated up my change to a point that you could not hold it either. My Chap Stick all but melted and it burned a place on my leg which I can still see today. This was a standard 9 volt "Energizer" battery with 2011 date on it. I've never heard of anything like this before and would not be surprized if had been throne in the trash that it set a fire. No kidding, it was that hot. What in the world caused this to happen? Please respond to my web address. (I've never been to this site before). Thank you in advance.

Some batteries aren't composed of AA, and it really depends on the brand. It would be nice if you could find a brand that has them in it though, and buy a bunch of them. :) I haven’t tried the 6V myself yet, and I’ve read mixed reviews.

Has anyone acutally tried the 6 Volt Latern one? I go thru AA like crazy so this could be a bit of cost saver. Seen the 9 Volt one before. Has anyone acutally tried the 6 Volt Latern one?
