Just pop open one of those huge lantern batteries, I hear they're full of AAs!

got these at harbor freight like 4 bucks for 24 of them. Figured they'd be good for things like emergency lanterns and remote controls.
sorry for the giant size of the image.

They do work well, though, and they're usually about 25-30% cheaper than the others.

I would ask if anyone is concerned about using off-brand batteries out of a fear of leakage or corrosion, but the only batteries that ever leak on me are Duracells.

As we drove away from the house and close to making the first turn, I turned on the Lynx and the Duracells decided to leak at that moment.
No video games for me on that trip.
Sent in the device after I returned and Duracell replaced the Lynx for me.

I too prefer to use off brand batteries in things such as Emergency Lanterns. I mean, who really wants a lantern to turn on when you need it, anyway?
Of course, we should only use the best batteries in things that really mean something, like toys and vibrators.
