Step 2 Disassemble the battery:

Pry the metal lip back from the bottom of the battery and straighten the edges as much as possible with pliers. Carefully pull out the plastic base and save. After that the innards should slip out without much trouble. Cut the negative lead going down the side and save the connector. Save the case.

I chose to use a Walgreens brand battery because it has nice thick plastic on the top and bottom. Duracell uses paper.

Great 'ible. Very clean, small, and professional  design, which is really nice. Definitely gonna try this.

Rayovac works too

[ookid]

if you get the right 9volt you can get 6 triple a batteries from it I hear.

[Lftndbt]

You get 6 AAAA's.

[brandonssk]

yeah, its true.I got curious and took a nine volt non alkaline battery apart and got six tripple a's out of it.

[A good name]

Yeah, I've heard that... The only problem was that they smelled really bad and they were a bit longer and thinner than your regular AAA batteries.

[dark sponge]

That's because they are AAAA batteries, not AAA.

[codongolev]

and everyone knows aaaa batteries smell bad.

[sk8erdude]

but be aware.. those have 9 volts

[Kajtas]

they don't, they are connected in series so that 6x1.5V=9V

[sk8erdude]

There a way to make this look even better, it requires 2 batteries: 1) rip the meta and get the top and bottom parts 2) on this battery use a dremel or knife to cut the plastic/paper and rip the rest of the paper with plyers. Now combine all the good parts and you have a pretty good looking battery!
