Save $40 with this easy to do hack that takes less than a minute! Pay attention to the battery type as that is important.
This can also be done with a 9 volt battery!

I picked up a couple of A23 Energizer Batteries at Wal-Mart for $1.88. What a deal!! If you look carefully at an A23, there is a split in the label/housing. I used a small screwdriver and peeled away the housing revealing a piece of paper.

32 AA or AAA *in series* would be 48 V. (32 * 1.5 = 48). However, 8 *parallel* banks of 4 AA or AAA in series would be 6 V at 8 times the current (amps).
(4 * 1.5) = 6, 8 times. Series connection adds the voltages; parallel connection adds the currents.

The Eveready Energizer A23 is clearly marked "Alkaline" whereas you compared it to a single silver-oxide button battery. Two different chemistries with big performance differences and big price differences.
