well, just for poops and giggles i'm going to buy a a lantern batt today and see what happens when i gut it. I can think of plenty of LED lights i got that would run a long time on cheap AA's
I heard about this the other day at work and it is the Wal-Mart brand "only"! If the whole thing is a joke, I don't know.
My understanding about 216/PP3 style 9v batteries is:
All alkaline ones use AAAA cells.
More info about these "five-A" cells, pleaseFor vintage radio reasons, I have recently dismantled some NiMH ones, and found seven of what I will call AAAAA cells!

Erm, dunno what to say, really.
They're 7mm diameter, 41mm long cylindrical flat-top cells, and the mAh capacity is - well, whatever your 9v NiMH battery is. Say, 160 or 180 or 200mAh.
I know this is only a smidgin less than AAAA, so thay might be called slim-AAAA, or some other naff title, but the extra size reduction results from the need to pack 7 into that PP3 case.
I just opened a Ray-o-Vac 6 volt battery and it contained only 4 non-standard 1.5 volt cells.
I did say there were seven of them, and I did say they are smaller than AAAA.There is no AAAAA battery, so they must have been AAAA's.
