but wouldnt they just be "heavy duty" batteries, not alkaline?
and heavy duties suck it.

Maybe different brands? Maybe something to do w/vid #2 being in England?

Unless my math is wrong, 4 AA's at 1.5 volts each = 6 volts. Having 32 wired in series as shown in the video would be way more than 6 volts. Plus, he just pours the batteries out. If the batteries are loose enough to pour out, the 6 volt should rattle. And there are no wires shown connecting the batteries to the terminals.
This all adds up to a fake, IMHO.

Did you know that the word "gullible" is stamped inside the top cover of every lantern battery? (http://www.snopes.com/photos/humor/batteryhack.asp)

well, like i said, i busted one open. the batteries do sit under a plastic plate but they are tight in there and glued together.
as for the size...i could see them using a bunch of aa size batteries but that wouldnt mean they work elsewhere. and in my experience if the tit on the positive side isnt long enough it wont make contact in many appliances. this myth is busted!
