Holy crap! I didn't know that. I have one collecting dust in the garage right now. I'm going to give it a whirl.

Ummm....no.
I hacked open a Radio Shack brand 6V. Here's what I got:  The worst part is that even though they are "D" sized, they're useless (other than to put them in a sock and beat the person that posted the YouTube video) because they don't have the 'nipples' on top. I tried them in a flashlight. No dice.  The most interesting part of the exercise was that Radio Shack jams Rayovac batteries in "Radio Shack" branded batteries. Jim

Those AA's appear to be "Heavy Duty" batteries so they would have 1/2 the AH of an Alkaline AA.
You can buy Alkaline AA batteries at Fry's for 40/$10 or 20 NiMH for $20, both would provide more run time/money vs. a $6 lantern battery and the NIMH batteries will last for years.

Okay, I might have been duped. I don't usually eat crow, but here's another tidbit.
Revenge of the battery hack - 32 AAs inside a 6v Lantern Battery. BUT IS IT PHONEY?! | Wise Bread

That's the problem with the modern internet. If one believes everything they see or hear without doing any follow up or research, well.... you get the picture....
