Freaking amazing !! I had no idea. Always figured the inside would be a mess of chemistry gooey stuff.

Well, there you have it. Did not know that.

Snopes once again is unable to fairly evaluate anything. The original video showed a Ray-O-Vac dry cell, not the Ever-Ready that the fumble fingered tester dismantled. Sure looked like he pulled out the equivalent of four double length "D" cells. A careful evaluator would have tested the voltage of the long "D" cells to see if they equate to two standard "D" cells. If they do, then he is good to go for powering up a two "D" cell flashlight.

Is a "D" cell normally 1.5v ? Then the way the Ever-Ready dry cell is packed that would add up to 6v.

I saw this a while back on you-tube. Everybody who is trying to debunk this video is using a different brand of battery from what I saw. There are videos on you-tube of others opening various manufacturers dry cells that don't have AA's in them. I think the key is to get the same brand. I can't imagine why someone would go to all the trouble to build a dry cell with AA batteries in it just to try to fool people. It only makes them look like a jerk in the end. I've also found plenty of other errors on Snopes over the years; like writing this one off because they checked they wrong battery.

If anyone finds out the real story....let us know.

Cheers

All zinc carbon cells are a nominal 1.5VDC. Size makes no difference on the voltage, only the current it can handle. So you can combine them in series to get multiples of 1.5. Two in series would provide 3VDC and so on. Now if you hook them up in parallel, You still have 1.5VDC, but you increase the current output capacity which means you can handle heavier draws, or handle the same draw for a longer period of time. You can get that 6VDC from 32 AA cells in a series/parallel wiring or you can get that 6VDC from 4 cells in series. Frank
