Any truth to the 6-volt battery being filled with AAs?

Question

I was just curious as to if a 6-volt battery is really filled with 32 AA batteries. I got an e-mail that showed it but it doesn't look true. Anyone know if it has any truth behind it?

Answer 2

no then it would be huge...

BUt yea it does have musltiple cells looking like AAs, but they really aren't AAs...

Answer 3

I've been told that not all battery manufactures do that, and that you have to get the right brand.

I removed the top of my 18 volt rechargeable drill battery and it has 12 C cell rechargeable batteries inside.

The chemistry of a bettery determines it's cell voltage.  If a 6 volt battery were only 1 cell, it would be 1.5 volts, just like a D, C, AA, or AAA battery.   Dispite the size difference, they're just 1 cell and are 1.5 volts.  To get 6 volts, 4 cells are needed.  They're not AA cells.  They're bigger and a different shape, but it requires 4 cells to get to 6 volts.  Same with the little 9 volt battery.  There's 6 cells inside one of those to add up to 9 volts.  Again, if it were 1 cell it would have only 1.5 volts, no matter the size or shape.
