wow, i totally forgot i commented on this. by the way, the battery looks so damn deformed that if anybody in my house found it, theyd throw it in the trash.

that is cool

You could leave three sides unopened, and fully open one of the short sides...using wire cutters, cut off the part of the short side you uncrimped and is bent up...also cut about 1/16" down and across as well. This way, the "lid" will slide in and out like sliding glass doors. The reason I say this is because it will look much nicer, be easier to use, and you won't be left with a damaged looking battery. Just my $0.02... www.chadworkz.com

May 18, 2009. 5:55 PMskatelong says:

is that really what your cells look like like?? this is what mine came out as.

my battery cell(160x120) 11 KB

Jul 21, 2009. 6:13 PMgodfreyandthandi says:

thats because yours was not an energizer cell... only energizer use AAAA cells in their battery, everyone else uses what you have in yours...

This is a pretty cool Instructable. what other things do you think we could do this with? it seems as a 9v when its light, it gets thrown out in my house.

you should make it look more normal and if your parents find it, it will probably be chucked into the trash.
