oh my god that was the best thing to ever hit the green part of the instuctibles website!!!! i used it and now have 37 of them! i fill them with sweets some with sugar and some with bits of chocolate then cover the top with sellotape and store them away! thanks for the great ideas!

Did you forget that a battery isn't just a box that shoots out electricity? Chemical reactions take place, and some of the chemicals involved are pretty bad for you. I don't know how safe the would be for food storage.

You can also recycle it to hold money, hence a secret safe.

If you guys like this then keep your eyes open when buying 9v bat... Some manufacturers make the cases of their 9v bat. out of plastic. Radioshack is one such company. Though I would recommend you get them when they're dead from someone using them. Radioshanty gets $6.00 for one 9 volt.

Another thing you can do with the top is cut it in half and use it as a snap (great if you're making a wallet, for example.)

just wanted to know, is it normal that the the polarities on the aaaa batteries are reversed ? Made a little led flashlight using the case and 3 aaaa batteries, very simple.

You know, I had never checked that before, good catch. I was always more concerned with getting the connectors than the cells.
If you look very carefully, you'll find that alkaline cells (see your regular AA and AAA, and likely the C and D as well) have the "-" end crimped rather than the "+" like carbon cells do. Unless otherwise marked, check your salvaged cells for voltage and polarity. Even if they are marked, check them, you might find one or more weak cells while others are still strong enough to use for something, or they may all be too weak to use.

this is the first time i've ever heard of 'AAAA' batteries..or was it a typo?

says:
It's not a typo, there are AAAAs. They're used for pen lights.

oh..are you talking about button cells? thats what call them
by smaller he means thinner. maybe slightly shorter.

says:
oh now i know what you're talking about. I have seen them..rarely though. i dont ue them very often if at all, but thanks for enlightening me

says:
yes, AAA...if u checked the image in step 5 there would be no need for this question

says:
sorry i meant step 4 and the difference is minute. Its just a slight size difference i think...i havent seen one of these batteries in a while so you would be better off asking the maker of this instructable for a clearer explanation.

hahah i'm confused! i htought you were going to make an led flashlight! oh well, good idea though!

Good instructable, but I don't know if this is considered eligable for the contest you entered it in.

says:
Yea, I might enter, and if I do, I'll give you a +1 if you do the same 4 me.
Ahem. My second Instructable. Not that different views on the same issue aren't welcome and frequently useful. (There's a general problem that "old" instructables pretty much drop off of all the radar screens.)

You'd think by now you would have had enough time to go back and correct your spelling :step 5 -seoarate ??, step 6 -pepare ??. At least this 11 year old reviewed his/her submission for accuracy. Good work.
and i saw it first on jolly rogers cook book, or something like that, a long time ago. Unfortunatly theres not much in this world thats new. now, how about a word of encouragement for the guy?

how should i know the difference between AAA and AAAA?

I think you should go back and resolder those joints.....

i'd love to correct you about the type of batteries inside of the 9volt battery, they are AAAA batteries, very uncommon, its ok to make mistakes though. nice instructable too. i've boon doing this since i was about 10, lol, a ten year old that opens up batteries. -gamer
the nine volt battery house can be used as a USB MEMORY STICK new house :)

Great idea(s)! I do the 9v clip thing sometimes, it saves money, and it's a neat idea, cool Instructable!

Multiple Instructables are encouraged if one goes about the process differently or improves on a previous design.
As they used to shout half-way through the film at the old movie-house I went to -
FOCUS!
The blurred images really let you down - try macro mode next time.

ya, i always recycle my 9v batterys, cause ya the clips are good, and the shell lol can be melted down. umm also i noticed you called the batterys AAAs but their actually AAAAs

says:
Indeed, they're quad-A's but they are roughly the same legnth of a tri-A so technically, you could replace them. But seeing as the title says 'old 9v batteries' these would no longer have a charge correct?

says:
well, their a lot fatter (aaa can go to about 800mah, aaaa only about 170mah) so lol idk
