9 Volt Battery Hack! You'll Be Surprised...

you rock dude dont let anyone put you down theyre just jealous

I can't imagine myself being in such a pinch that I couldn't just take the time that I would have spent taking apart the 9-Volt and go to the store for some new AAAs. Plus, if you're going to be prepared enough to carry around a 9-volt and a pair of needle nose pliers with you everywhere you go, why not just keep an extra pack of AAAs in your glove compartment, especially if the device you would need them for is potentially life-saving or whatnot? Just my opinion though...

I have done this and have destroyed the device that was using the batteries. Use this with caution.

An uzi, some gum, and an mp3... how can I make a nuclear weapon again?

(this video is awesome)

I think kipkay posts some of the most interesting videos here in metacafe :) Thanks a lot mate

Gee. My AAA's are dead. Good thing I happened to have a 9V battery and a needle nosed plyers in my pocket! :(

IM A HAXOR IN LIFE XD

dam nice, i was always told busting up a battery would make it blow up... stupid elementary school....

do you know more stuff like this?

Say Kip... you work at some sort of atomic power plant? We've got to get together... Meanwhile I'm going to stock up on 9 V batteries and needle nose pliers.

learnt something new today, thanks

How do you know all of these stuff? Did you rmother made you listen to Mozart as a baby?

I hope you had a nice Christmas by the way.

the some 9 volt batteries dont use this design one that dosent is Rayovac they use a tower type design.

all I found inside was six square boxes... not any AAAA or AAA batteries... I was sad... maybe it is the type I was using... I used an old panasonic 9v... oh well...

because, I haven't tried any other manufacturer but, I tried this on a Walgreen's brand 9-volt, and no AAAA batteries. Only horizontal cells, six of them, about 1/2 cm thick.

You must be the reincarnation of Macgyver or something.

I'm amazed the stuff you find out about.

I tried this with one of my 9volts and their wasn't any tripple A look alikes all I found was 6 little bars instead of 6 little rods they looked like rectangular boxed little bateries

I NEVER KNEW THAT!! YOU'RE SO AWESOME!!! YOU'VE SAVED ME MONEY!!!

Umm . . . I'm more likely to have a needlenose pliers at my disposal when I'm out on the road than a battery??

this is a cool trick i tryed it myself. sometimes a 9volt battery has a sort of bag of black powder. i would reccoment duracell or energiser. what ever you do do not use vinnic batterys to open. But be careful about opening there batterys up because when i did it i got the AAA batterys out of it one of them exploded and red hot green powder flew everywhere. lol =)

kipkay is really Macgyver!!!

i study electricity /electronics and if you open a batery most of them will have black dust inside POISENES.
so don't do it with some weaker batery's like in the video abuve you wil see no black dust but with most battery's you will get the black dust that makes the battery's stronger and more durable.
company's don't make those outer shell's for nothin you know

oh.....i hope it's true....i'm going to try it. Anyway keep the good work

you're McGuyver!

(awesome vids, keep'em coming)

you should be on TV ! cool, my remote for tv just packed up

Never knew what was inside a 9v battery, nice vid

a friend taught me this trick when i was little and i did it back at home. when you take it apart all the batteries are connected by metal to make a long chain of batteries. just dont connect them into a circle and let them sit, they will in fact explode with a small bang. it missed me but theres still a mark on my wall from the explosion.

mac gyver style

...I think you were the technical advisor for the TV show "Macgyver" ...how do you know all this stuff? Do you own patents to inventions? What is your IQ and are you a member of MENSA?... cool stuff ... :)

I am First, I am Real.

tus videos son epicos

then next time ill bring 9v battery as a backup for my AAA :P

You need to take it easy on the caffeine. Please!!! Every time I see one of your videos I feel like I need to run. It's really annoying.

dont forget to wash your hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!

way to go magiver!

how do you know all this stuff

i usely don\'t walk around with a 9 volt batteri.....

next time i need batteries for remote or mp3 i will just buy a 9v and save $$$!

id be very carefull about doing this for something like an MP3 player, or something like that. if you test the amperage of the cells, you will see a large variation in the aaaa cells found in a 9v cell. i have had these pop in a $90 wireless mouse (fluid all over the inside of the mouse). i would only use this solution for something with low energy draw, like a remote control, or a cheap flashlight.

And inventive to

so how do you tell which end is positive and which is neg?

It is an old survivo trick , it isn't new , so the trick was knowne since i was 4 ( i broke one to see what is inside , and then put it at my train - toy :)))

Maybe when he was a small kid he was playing with the 9 voly battery and he opend it and founf out that its made of smaller kinds of battries -.-
so he tried and found out

or he got it from www.answers.com xD

Really cool hack thanks..

funnyhack.blogspot.c om

i keep having things the run out of battery power (AAA mind you) so i pinch them from my remotes :D

Good work kipkay

whats inside a D size battery?

respect!!
man i try it it works
it`s amazing!

I am (almost) in G-Unit and I approve of this video.

5

probably the best person in the universe great tip!

keep that in mind that not every 9v battery is formed with 6 AAA batteries... Energizer may be like that but the other brand use different forms of 6 batteries...ı have once opened a 9v and it contains 6 rectengular small batteries...so if you want this 6 AAA you must buy Energizer or you have to examine the other brands first...

Nice to know , thank you!

Careful , batteries may actually be in reverse polarity as I have found in the 9 volts. The piece sticking out was not positive as in most batteries.These batteries are almost the size of AAAA. i used some folded up reynolds wrap as a spacer (conductive) until i find a better solution. use meter to check or try them backwards.

this is one of my favorite hacks to do. if you liked this, watch my 9v parody!! click on my channel and watch my videos! rate them good pease!!

i like this hack, many good uses. hey everyone, like this? look at my parody!! its soo funny :]

I did this once, a few hours later one of them just randomly exploded. I didn't feel like keeping the rest around, though that may have just been a coincidence.

Thanks for the video!

mine just has a bunch of rectangular things 6 of em

Not really needing AAA just wanting to see for myself i pried open a 9Volt and i got some freaky ass plastic thing that has 6 sections of something that i have no clue how to explain and on the sides that would have the black and then the two plugins theres a yellowstripes on one side blue on one side on a thing that looks like metal

does this have to be with a certain brand of battery?

Get paid for taking surveys at SURVEY4PROFIT dot NET

the AAAA batts have 1.5 volts, but how many do AAA batts have?

I accually did this (took apart the battery apart theres no batterys just black boxes wraped in wax

Most 9V batteries are built out of a stack of cells of thin metal sheet, carbon sheet, and acidic gel that are the full width and depth of the cell. So don't count on having this work unless you're opening up a battery of a particular brand and make that you already know contains the "AAAA" cells.

You're more likely to get acidic gel on your hands than usable batteries, unless you're willing to spend more than the price of a few extra AAA's to tear apart some 9V batteries beforehand.

i liked it saved me a cupple of dollars

i liked it saved me a cupple of dollars

i liked it saved me a cupple of dollars

different, i got 6 square like watch battereis, not all batts are like the one on your vid, im just saying thats all, love your vids! -thx

just gotta say i love ur voice

Don't forget dude....
KNOWLEDGE BELONGS TO THE WORLD....

and also he couldn't find anythihng on aliens on computers' files because usually it's on paper....
you planted a Carnivorous seed, too late...it'll pollinate...okay fine this is "SPAM"..okay...

that's well ingenious and simple too, ace :D

Ur videos are good but this is Bull sh!t!!!!!! They dont fit anywhere. They are 2 small. And they leak some king of frickin crap. But 5 stars for u!!!!

Has producer rewards sent you money yet?

Awesome tip. Thanks

hack my ass

He does remind me of myself ;) cool trick

whatever lifeless fuck figured this out, THANKS

Ok, I think I'll just go buy batteries! lol! j/k, you're smart :)

PLEASE DON'T READ THIS. You will get kissed on the nearest possible Friday by the love of your life. Tomorrow will be the best day of your life. However, if you don't post this comment to at least 3 videos, you will die within 2 days

Great.Thumbs up

If you don't have plier, just stop by the nearest Walmart and get it.

what, so when you walk to the shops with your mp3 on you take a pair of pliers?

Honestly dude that was awsome! i have really gotta try that. send that into like some science show.(make sure they pay u b4 they get the video though)lol

AND a 9V battery, of course!

Instead of carrying a friggin 9volt..... I could just carry more batteries!

thanks for the greaat information dude and thanks for making my mum split open all my batteries!

Come on, people! You should already know about this! Are you people so ignorant about the world around you that you no longer know how even the simplest of objects work?

i think metacafe is his main office!

Who the heck carries a pliers and a 9v battery everywhere they go...
Just buy new ones!

Hey thanks for the tip! I am going to give it a try.

This video is great and all, but I think kipkay forgot to say one thing or he just didn't know (gasp!)
This Hack should NOT be done on the batterys with the cat jumping through the 9 (forgot the name brand, I think heavy duty or something). If you do you'll get this black stuff (battery acid, i hope i don't die or sumthing!) and it's a mess instead of the great little AAAA's.

BLOODIE BRILLIANT NICE ONE =D

ur like a f**kin genuis!!!!

hey kip it graham wheeler from the forums. now i know...

how to take 6 AAA and bind them up into one 9V battery! I can see a sequel coming: how to make D battery from 5 AAA's etc.

wouldnt be easier to buy more AAA batteries man?

Not all 9V batteries are made with six AAAA batteries inside. It depends on the manufacturer. I opened one up and found six rectangular "wafers" stacked on top of each other.

I WENT AND HACKED MY 9VOLT BATTERY TODAY. THIS IS AMAZING! F*CKING MR. BRILLIANCE! WHERE CAN BUY YOUR VIDEOS? WHAT IS YOUR WEBSITE! THIS IS SO AMAZING!

I am watching all of kipkays video's and I am getting smarter by the minute, once I seen him make a couple sweet potatoes run a mp3 player I was instantly hooked.

hacks are only in video games dumb butthead if there were cks in life, i'd be a level 99 paladin

stupid

very nice and informative but i doubt it'll be actually useful

buy new batteries ....

we need more useless information to be proven useful in this world.
Maybe one day we can figure out why the hell they call a woodchuck a woodchuck....
Great work Kipkay. Windows hacks, tips tricks are welcome in my book.

im going to try it for the fun of it. lmao.

but seriously i think i could wait until i get home to get more batteries. im not going be like OMG ILL DIE IF I CANT LISTEN TO SOME AVENGED SEVENFOLD or 3 6 MAFIA!!!!! SOME ONE QUICK. GRAB THE NEEDLE NOSE PLIERS AND A 9 VOLT BATTERY. NOW!!!1!!.

YOU ROCK DUDE....

Where The Hell Do you Come up With this Shit? U made 10 Grand Already and Counting. HOW MANY IDEAS DO U HAVE?

said that you submitted it 2 days ago... on my first video it released it to the public after 3 days and then reset the day counter, but for my second video it released it to the public after the first 24 hours but the counter stayed the same.....

if i had a device that needs small batteries, and if i was to carry an additional, i would carry the same small barreries as extras, i wont carry a different kind of battery as a back up which wont fit into my cd player or somethin...lol

This is cool! Although, keep in mind this only works with this brand. I tried it with a dollar store brand and it doesn't have AAAA batteries in it.

i opened up a 9 volt right after I saw this and the batteries worked when I put them in anything that uses AAA's

Has anybody check if this is true? this is not a oneshot. could be a fake like that latern -> aa baterie "hack". when you watch it closely, it seems like the content of the baterie that's opened in the first part (before the cut) is something completely different than a3.

thanks! i was ready to burn it and buy a new one

Cheap batteries use small blocks as the cells so they don't work. Energizer is a good brand so it does :D

Wow. Thanks. But he talks too fast.

many of your vids uses battery... but the hell tanx anyway!

The video doesn't mention an important aspect of this hack. The POLARITY of those internal cells is the opposite of what you'd normally expect. That is, the case it the (+) terminal and the nipple is the (-) terminal. Watch the video again, notice he has the RED (+) voltmeter lead on the case when he takes the readings. So be sure you take the polarity into account if you use this hack, or your MP3 player could be toast.

i tryed this and something diffrent was in there

great vids kip you rock

kipkay, your amazing, hour like a household hacking tool on the internet!

I think you have a great voice, you should be working for TV and Radio. Do you make voice ads?

bash something like this when a poster is clearly just trying to help people.

It's actually 6 AAAA batteries. Otherwise known as quadruple A batteries. These batteries are hard to find but they do exist.

FYI, this does NOT work with the "cheaper" betteries.. like Rayovac.. as they have 6 vertical rectangle looking things stacked on top of eachother, not the 6 tall cylinders next to eachother that Duracell and Energizer do...

WHERE DOES HE COME UP WITH THIS STUFF!!!

it's genius

good luck...

Can these batteries from inside a 9 volt battery be recharged?

(you state that in the vid just wanted to know if that was a mistake cause that's a non-rechargeable battery and they advise against trying to charge those).

this guy is so full if it. the only thing u will find in a nine volt is some corossive battery acid. i cant beleive u guys actually think this is real!

common he doesn;t deserve it on that silly thing.

i think hes saying to use those batteryes with, cellphone toys and ipod toys for little kids coz i don`t know if that battery would fit in my ipod haha

MacGiver theme song on this.

Not for real. Stop uploading video clip that are not true, my wish

...it's YUMMY!

If you dont have any AA batteries, then why the hell would you have a 9V battery? lol Cool but I dont think it's very practical

Macgyver is the shit

wat?

Because you know that I always carry needlenose plyers incase my battery runs out. To bad I use an ipod

iuy

my AAA batteries are dead!!!
What do I do?

Ill just rip apart a 9 volt battery.

Stupid.

In a pinch you think my I pod runs on AAAs?

Its not like AAA batteries run a pacemaker or artificial lung.

1.38*6=8.28

where the 0.72 volts gone !?
can someone explain that to me !?

i will try it sometime :)

love ur vids
btw is u talking or computer?

i'ts a silly thing i think!

kip keep up the good work!

i luv u man... xD

thts amazing u no so much stuff ! love it keep posting !

let me just whip out my needle nose pliers...

WTF.

...but i wouldn't use that on mp3 player or some expensive device, there is a risk of unexpected acid leak and it can damage your player and/or your health.
Anyway good vid.

On average an entire 9 volt battery only has etween 150-200 mah of capacity. Divie that by nine and you are looking at 16.6 miliamps per aaaa battery. It will not sustain enough output to power ANYTHING useful.

9volts power high voltage low consumtpion devices. try it, you will see.

This is still cool though.

This is good stuff; This is some of the stuff u'd see on McGuyver! :))

and never have a 9 volt battery around either, just stick one finger where the batteried go and stick another finger in an outlet.

you are Macgyver II.

Those are terribly low in capacity point...they won't last long maybe 1/5th of what a real AAA would do.

NICE TO KNOW, THANKS..

i like all your stuff man is very good im going to rank 5 and can u add more videos and can u add me mahofener@ht.com yh turkish-1

only that i donk know i will try later c ya.

i saw some quadruple a batteries at walmart the other day.
they are so expensive, and i havent seen anything that uses them.

well` said number one, lol

cool very intelligent

Chance is - when your batteries go flat in your mp3 player, etc, the chance is you won't have a spare 9 volt battery to 'hack' up.So I suggest you go to a shop and buy some batteries for your mp3 player instead of wasting your life.

thanx for that, happy new year!

If you dont have 4a battaries what are the odds you will have a 9V and a pair of pliars?

useless information.

ok this is pretty cool but, if u dont have ne ax3, then it would seem uncommon for u to have a 9v, but still cool

im impressed that you know all this stuff, keep it up your work is very very much apprieceated~~
