The first video shows how to open a 12 volt battery to find 8 1.5 volt button cell batteries:
Here’s the second video with how to hack a 9 volt battery to reveal 6 AAAA batteries that can be used as AAA batteries in a pinch:
Found via the always fun & thrifty site Wisebread with the post: The $40 hidden inside a 12V battery.

This is sadly not true. Breaking open batteries will not reveal several smaller batteries. This is a shaggy dog story that has been debunked at sites such as snopes.com. I personally saw a movie on YouTube claiming that you coudl find over 32 double A batteries inside of a large block battery. It is all bunk, do a little online research to find the truth.
Yep, it’s an urban legend. Please don’t go cutting into old batteries: they can contain toxic and corrosive chemicals. It would be best to remove this post from the site, as some people may get excited and try the tip without reading down to the comments!
I found the info on Snopes debunking this so I added it above. Thanks for letting me know
.
i will confirm it here after i tried it myself.
