aww man you did it again! good find good find

Great vid

Keep 'em coming

5 stars!

Kip! Arethose LR44 button cells? The ones most lasers use?

Some batteries do contain acid, i just tried this out and got some sprayed on my hand, and i think i inhaled something too i instantly got this little burn in my throat.

This acid isn't very strong though, i've had much worse on me in chem class, this one didn't even make my skin turn red and it took a while for a droplet on my finger to even start stinging. (ever so slightly)

We have that brand of batteries here in sweden, are they filled with acid or are they like yours? Anyone who knows?

...I knew a guy like you once. His hair was light brown, and he carried a swiss knife around. We called him Macgyver... Geez, the things you know, boy!

KIPKAY HAS HIS OWN WEBSITE

battery manufacturures accross the globe just got PWN'd

Way to go my friend. Well deserved. Although, I must say you left out one very important part..... The video didn't include a shot of your cat =(. Ahahah. 5 *'s and a Digg for you.

Just wanted to let you know that I love all of your work! I have tried many of the things you have put on here and have found all of them to be accurate and informative. From the light switching combination to the bobbypin handcuff picking, all have worked.

Thank you for producing the best of the best!

had no idea there were BUTTON BATTS. in there!!!!!!

Where do you get this info from Kipkay?. Thanks for sharing the your knowledge, imagine how much better the world would be if more people shared their knowledge for free. THANKS

16 button cell batteries for $1.88. Can't beat that bargain even at Walmart! Great video!

going to make thousands from this video :O

You saved me more than 40 bucks.

even cheaper than buying the batteries on ebay!

12 volt battery hack and you save 40$

you can get 5 of those battery cells for 1.14?!?!?

Man Kip you must have a wide battery collection

With a very money-saving cool video :)
Kip up the good work :)

They will raise the price of those 12 volt batteries to $35.99!!!!

genius!!!!

another great video!

impressive,great job!

from the master himself!

you saved more than money for me, but time and energy wasted looking for those stupid little hard to find batteries, i never knew they were inside 12 volts! thanks a lot man! =) ( oh and they can get pretty expensive haha so awesome, and thanks)

That is TOTALLY cool! I never knew what was inside those! Thanks for the great vid & tip!

wow who knew

i live in singapore here and i just bought one. IT WORKS! it's gotta be A-23 ENERGIZER brand thats to be for sure. i think these batteries can work for like laser pointers and stuff. or u can insert them into a sparkler bomb and it goes boom!

5 stars and subscribsion

I neveseen a 12 Vot Batter before wher do you get 1?

lmfao.... this cant be true or do you american have differnet battery's then ours in europe

ok peeps how many of you opened some battery's at home to find out LOL

Has anyone tested this succsefully? I just tried this with Duricell, AND energizer And got a big mess of battery acid/power all over the place!

was cool. this one is sweet though! 5 stars. love your vids

6 Button cells, at 3V each, produces a total of 18 Volts, not 12. Unless there's a series of resistors I'm missing somewhere, this is technically impossible. Has anyone ever tried this? Didn't think so. Oh, and I decided to break open a 12V lantern battery, too just to find there are not 32 AA's inside.

yeah i didn't make myself clear enough. i had one of those batteries but not THAT one in your room. soz poor humor. anyway great, handy vid. like it :)

Now before any of you spam the s*** out of this comment, just here me out. I found Exactly the same battery, exactly. (well. not that one there) and i did Everything he said. and nope. its just battery acid. now im not sure if England have different batteries (i live in England) or this is just a very well created fake vid, but i think you did a good job kipkay.

do it have to be enegizer

You can find these batteries for $1.00 at dollor general. 8 in a pack

Is a 12 volt battery a double A battery?

I did it and it started to leak!! what happend?

I tried this and it started to leak!! I coudnt open it.What happened?

nice job kip you are a mad genius!

is he talking about a double A (AA) battery?

thanks a ton, this vid should help alot of ppl

you just earned 3 1/2 thousand dollars! great video! 5 star!

your a genious

5 *

You are becoming a threat to the world's economy... i mean "WORLD".

I opened up my battery (Alkaline) and there was no batteries! :(

Also, just a quick comment: You bought 2 12 volt batteries for LESS THAN 2 DOLLARS, but ONE of the batteries in it was $4.99?

this dosen't work with all 9 volts.I took a cheap one apart and found a single cell.

Kipkay may i ask a question? are you a monster? u have plenty of hack geez hats off...!
5*

Hey, great instructable and video! Keep 'em coming. I wonder though do you get views through instructables or only on the site?

damn kip must get alots of head cause yall are on his nuts

got 5 batteries on ebay for 2,99 euro ... now i own 40 !!!! bateries :-D

my 2 cats love me cause my laserpointer is all the time full charged ^^

is a AA battery the same as A23 batt

does the quality of those batteries match those that you buy separately? i'd like to see a test of battery performance if it's not too much trouble.

oh, and kipkay FTW

Im gonna buy a mess of these 23A's and try this and if there are button batteries inside im gonna save some cash

gret video, watch my video if i want, tankhs, 5***** by me (sory may english)

You can save millions because those big brick batteries have thousands of the same little batteries.

where do I find the 9 volt hack video?

Being the cheap/lazy bastered i am I didnt want to drive to walmart nor pay 5 bucks for a battery i tried this and i saw them but they had a metal casing so i tried to pry off the + end and voila Acid volcano this isnt kipkays fault because im the idiot that did something not in the video but still wear gloves i was lucky i didnt get hit

kipkay rocks!!!!
METACAFE, this guy is a genius!!!

Thanks man thats awesome

This is awesome. What a friggin ripoff.

you guys are retarded if you actually believe this.............. stupid fags

simple but cost effective hacking....nice one KipKay.

very nice, i expect to see more of ur discoveries keep them coming

Youe maneged to find a way to save as oure money while making money youresalf BRAVO kipkay!

i tried this with Philips "long-life" batterys and all that came out was black stuff...

make money off each other 4real see my idea tell me what u think.

kip strikes again

arent there chemicals inside the battery so shouldnt u not take it apart???

yow kipkay whats your email adress

sup

How do you KNOW all this stuff??

WHAT THE F**K~!!!

You never answer me! Are these the LR44 button cells I can use in most 3 battery lasers?

OK, so $1.88 for SIXTEEN button cells... or $4.99 for them individually?? Someone needs to launch a class action suit against the battery makers for ripping off consumers like this. What a scam!

Your going to be a very rich geek. I'm pretty bright but i'm an idiot compared to you sir. Thanks for the vids.

dang so were just getting ripped off the other way it just better then just buying one.

This gotta be fake.

you're the man

A company hould buy hundreds of those batteries and sell them as the more expensivee kind.

NICE!! TY

AGAINE!? People, he is gonna bankrupt Metacafe with his knowledge and videos. Where will we be without Metacafe then?! Oh, for the life of me, I see it now; "New CEO of Metacafe, Kipkay, will now run for President of the USA." Oh the woo of it all.
Anyway, wth. Kipkay ya did it again and that makes me happy that a dude from the sunshine state can show some DAMN good ideas that saves money, (especially MY money! lol)
You get another 5 stars, naturally....

Thats GENIUS!

Thanks for the info!

anal thermometer......

tnx fo the info

Most everyone was paying attention to the directions in this video. Those of us (including me) with the acid problem probably weren't. These are 12 volt batteries... not AA or AAA... AA's do have a form of battery acid in them (although it is fairly weak, you can and will get chem burn if you leave it on for too long.)

cool video

YOUR AMAZING

What most people don't realize is that most "batteries" are just battery cells, not complete batteries. A battery is a combination of battery cells.
Most battery cells (AA, AAA, C, D...) are 1.5 volts. When connected in series, such as is done with most higher voltage batteries, the total volts are added together. If you feel adventurous, you could probably take apart almost any battery that's over 1.5 volts. As with any experiment, though, proceed at your own risk.

on ebay you can get them even cheaper

working with car alarms for years (which use the 23a's) I've taken apart one of these many years ago. I would have beat you to this but I'm a little on the lazy side. Plus that's taking away from your spending on a wedding gift...........

thanks!!! a real saving trick

I think battery manufacturers will go bankrupt soon! Good thing, I am not in that business!

cutting batteries open with a metal screw driver. it''s safe if you miss all the lead and acid.

This is one sweet video bro. Silver oxide batteries inside a battery - what a concept.

Keep the videos comin'. Kipkay u rulez!

and shity virus links !!! The World Counts On You!!!!!

Btw-nice video kip :D as usually

Anyone still use Zenith Transoceanic radios on batteries? Probably not, but- They used B batteries that were 90 volts. These are actually 10 9 volt sal amonic cells, not alkaline like Kipkay shows [they are the "heavy duty" old school cells...] which a party can hack into the cardboard body that held the spent ones easoly enough. Just solder the tabs together after taking off the metal cover, in series, then slide em back into the original box. Go, Hams, Go...

No matter what haters say.

You only have 7 friends. What's up with that???

With how famous you are, you should have more friends than Tom.

Is it really you or an imposter?

These 1.5 volt button batteries (Rayovac 357 is one brand name) are VERY expensive. I have to buy them every few months, and it always irritates me. Now, to find these 12 volt batteries - haven't actually seen them before.

Kipkay strikes yet again. Amazing video man!

*´¨) ¸.·´¸.·*´¨) ¸.·*¨)
(¸.·´ (¸.·` **All your posts are cool :)

Just another fine example of how people are getting ripped. good shot kip!

who knew? Great job, Kipkay! Thanks for saving me money!

i did thi, with the same brand too, but all there was was...well no batteries lol.

Hey when I tried it, acid shot out all over my new jacket.

that awsome

What I would like to know is where you are getting these batteries from? I bought a 6v Lantern Battery, tore open a 9v battery and also had a A23 battery laying around, and NONE OF THEM had watch cell batteries, or multiple other batteries (all the AA's and AAA's you talk about with the 9v & 6v batteries)

I am gonna try this just to see if it actually works, kip ill get back to you on that one

butt it didnt work i opent it the only thing that was in was a something like pluce with oil al over it

Advise eyeglasses, The damn thing BLEW UP when i opened it and i had to run to flush out my eyes... and still my face got a bit well... i dont want to scare ppl... remember dont be stupid like i was... wear safety glasses

kipkay dose it again any batteries got a AA? =P

the batterry i used didnt have no fuckin litel batterys in it has acid....i fuckin burnt ma hand...(i cudnt peel the battery i got a hammer and smashed it it exploded)

hmmm

i did this theere were no button cells or whatever some kind solid black solution inside it its not dangerous except you put it in fire im tellin the truth try it yourself !!

It's all about marketing. I remember a few years ago .... it was disclosed that the "disposable" contact lenses for a small portion of the price were the same exact item as the 1-week items.

It's about what you can get, not what you can charge and make a good living.... apparently.

i did notice you hacked energiser battery i this video
and you also hacked 9voldt battery that was enegiser too :D

have you tried some other batteries?

Save some money on Metacafe for other people.

Seriously. :)

I don't actually have any use for my own burning laser, but this is something even us non-pyros can use!

Why are there so many different sizes of button cells? Can you use a different size to replace the original battery, if it fits?

but people please watch my funny pictures of cats video thx :)

Hey, I guess you are worth your money, but how the hell did you come up with, for example, this video? I mean you didn't just open up the battery to see what's inside for fun right?

Where did you get the facts? Good video btw ^^

you always amaze me
AMAZING!!
