Makes sense. The voltage and milliamps add up correctly. If the company is already producing AA batteries, it would be cheaper for them to make a case and wire them batteries together then make a whole new battery. Either way, I think I'm gonna buy one and cut it apart and see

It's pretty cool isn't it? I knew someone would be able to figure out the whole "milliamp" thing.

Lemme know how you make out when you cut it open.

TAKE PICS !!!

Will do, I think we got a few of those up front in our parts department. If not I'll be swinging by safeway on the way home.

Use Ni-Cad or Lithium-Ion rechargable batteries if you want to save money. You will save a lot more than $5!!!

LOL.... that's a good one. I find it hard to believe there 32 batteries in the one 6V though. May have to give it a try :-)
