Holy shit! I gotta try that.

Watch now...the new 6V batteries are now filled with acid and I'll end up looking like Harvey Dent.

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong
I know better
Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew

I was thinking the same thing, rofl. I'm sure the batt companies found that video and they are thinking how to combat that situation.

I actually tried this once. It only works with a certain type of battery. Most of them have large energy cells inside. Also the little AA's you get from there dont last long.

Well i saw a guy try this and when he took the top off it had 2 big cell batteries inside ( something larger then D size). It was an ever ready 6 volt so its either a different brand or they dont work that way anymore.

First off the opening title of the video shows it is from gagfilms.com. Plus I have not found one person that has proved it.
