Need AA Batteries?

Go buy one of those 6 Volt lantern batteries for $5, and you'll net yourself 32 AAs:

I have two of these batteries in my workbench (the flashlight that I used them with is hosed) and I'll be tearing them open tomorrow (as we always need AAs around here).s

Update on 10/16: It was a hoax.

I don't know. If you read the comments on Lifehacker, you see enough people don't get AA's out of it. Plus, if you do they are most likely the cheap AA's you could get at The Dollar Tree.

yeah, any word on whether this is worth it?

i bought a metric ton of AA's at Costco for about $8

not really worth the effort try the hack.

the lesson is don't pay $5 for four batteries.
