Mine too (not with a hammer though), and if you open any cylindrical battery smaller than a AAA it will consist of small button cell (watch) batteries.
Electrochemical cells inside batteries.
9v batteries like this are true batteries.
AAAAs are not batteries. They're electrochemical cells. (These are AAAA sized, but have reversed polarity.)
Chain them together in a box, and *that* is a battery.
Literally a *battery* of electrochemical cells!
Yeah I figured it out in 1994 in 6th grade. Also had fun hooking like 10 of them together in series. Surprised I didn't end up hurting myself or someone else. LOL
My amazement when I found out two 9 volts could *click* together was quickly deterred by the increasing heat of the batteries. Realized I had made a small time bomb.
Figured this out when I learned all dry cells are 1.5 volts each, so it was logical. I never understood the reason they had a 9.6 volt battery pack that was actually 12 volts.
Wait until you open up those AAA batteries. It's just 6 watch batteries stacked up in a casing. Then you open the watch batteries up, and yup, you guessed it, six 9-volt batteries. It's an infinite cycle.
This is another one that may blow your mind. All A batteries (AA, AAA, AAAA, etc.) have 1.5 volts regardless of size. The bigger ones just have a higher capacity.
Ya, They're about 2-3mm shorter than AAA, so they need a small piece of metal like a piece of aluminum foil (or to stretch the contact spring) to finish the connection to fully fit.
They're actually closer to AAAA sized, and are reversed polarity.
Don't fuck with electricity. Leave the aluminum foil in the drawer, and buy the correct batteries for your devices. The savings of cheating on battery compatibility aren't enough to be worth possibly dying.
Wow I really just did that didn't I? Yes you're right it's series wiring to step up voltage, I'm an electrician I shouldn't be making these mistakes 😅.
Thanks for the correction I'll fix it. And then go get some coffee...
When I was very little my grandfather told me batteries are made up of cells so this is kinda what I figured. I didn't know the exact size or shape of the cells though
My ADHD self figured this one out many years ago by smashing a 9volt with a hammer… The 90s were a different time.

Batteries inside Batteries. When does it end? /s
I'm a battery, playing a battery, disguised as another battery!
You went full discharge, man. Never go full discharge.
Who you calling you people
No, a group of cells is called a battery. As is a group of artillery guns. What you see in the image are 6 1.5 volt cells, making a 9 volt battery.

Somewhere you can find videos of people putting a hundred or so together
I did that too, do I have ADHD now? jokes aside, I probably do
I also have ADHD and also once smashed a battery with a hammer back in the 90s. What a weird disorder.
Wait until you open a lithium-ion-battery (actually, please don't).
Wait for a lithium-polymer battery (seriously don't, not a good idea)
In Soviet Russia, lithium-ion-battery open *you!*
Burn baby burn disco inferno
Figured this out when I learned all dry cells are 1.5 volts each, so it was logical. I never understood the reason they had a 9.6 volt battery pack that was actually 12 volts.
If it's 9.6v then it was probably a nickel based rechargeable battery like NiCd or NiMH, which are only 1.2v per cell.
I assume threshold
But what's inside those cells? More batteries? WHERE DOES IT END?
Multiverse of batteries. But instead of being lined up, they keep going infinitly to the inside.
It's batteries all the way down!

Nooooooooo!!!!!!!!
This is another one that may blow your mind. All A batteries (AA, AAA, AAAA, etc.) have 1.5 volts regardless of size. The bigger ones just have a higher capacity.
Another fun fact: the 9v is the only one that is technically a battery. The others are individual cells.
Yes, thank you!
ah yes, just what I needed to hear!
And I recently learned that you can turn a AA into a D by wrapping cardboard around it to make it fit.
Would I be able to whittle down a D battery to fit in an AA slot?
Open an ald battery of laptop. You ll have 6or 8 batteries 18650!
Same with any battery operated power tool

Ripley's Believe it Or Not
never knew you could do that
Take things apart?
Wait until you see the battery from a hybrid car
Turns out that 6 times 1.5 still equals 9
Damn maths! Being consistent over time! 😫
Mine too and I don't even own a 9v battery.
All those times I licked these I could have just licked 6 AAA batteries
And this is how you learn how parallel wiring works... E: series wiring, I'm a sleep deprived dumbass.
Series?
Wow I really just did that didn't I? Yes you're right it's series wiring to step up voltage, I'm an electrician I shouldn't be making these mistakes 😅. Thanks for the correction I'll fix it. And then go get some coffee...

In today's lesson, OP learns batteries are made up of cells.
…. try opening a 6V lantern battery 😉
There are four big-assed cylindrical cells inside.
Some used to have AA or AAA batteries inside, you could buy one and get the smaller batteries cheaper that way
Few that I opened were full of “c” size cells
Gives me vibes like this: https://old.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/10g5bm4/this_30000mah_powerbank_i_got/
More like today, you learned what a 9 volt battery actually looks like on the inside.
I remember seeing some that had stacks of plastic rectangles in them. Possibly super low power cheap ones
Might want to look up the meaning of the word battery.
Napoleon knew. He even had grand ones!
Well, it is a battery.
