How To Hack A 12 Volt Battery

You will be surprised what's inside a 12 volt battery! An easy hack that will save you money!


Step 1:

12-Volt Battery

In my other battery hack video, I showed you how a 9-volt battery could save the day. Well, it's time for another cool trick, this time with a small 12-volt battery.

Step 2:

Cost

This is one of the easiest hacks to do, and it'll save you about $40. I picked up two A23 12-volt batteries for less than $2.

After splitting the case with a screwdriver and peeling it back, what you'll find inside are eight 1.5-volt button cell batteries.

I found the matching battery for $4.99 at an electronics store. I was able to power up these 6 devices with the batteries I hacked from the 12-volt battery! And I saved about $40! Cheap and easy with a big payoff: the 12-volt battery hack.

That's an A23 battery. They don't make those type of batteries anymore. Nor have they ever carried them in the U.S.

Before you all say it is fake, note the battery referenced in the video. It is a 'A23'. Not a AA or AAA or anything else. Look up what a A23 battery is in wikipedia, which states that it is an 8-cell battery... just like the video finds when it is opened up.

I didn't know they made small 12 volt batteries. This is great, because I have a switch for a different project that requires 24 volts to activate! I am sure that this type of battery would work fine! (Two of them in series) So I guess the comment that it is useless unless it's a car battery is not true, eh? Kipkay, is a bright and informative guy. I like all the stuff I have seen him do. Cool hack Kipkay, keep up the good work.

The Energizer A23 is a 12v battery. Try Googling it.

It astounds me that whenever someone discovers an interesting tidbit like Kipkay has, that people who know absolutely nothing about the subject matter begin making commentary. Some of you are like a bunch of monkeys who just can't wait to fling poo at anything that doesn't agree with your reality picture. Go brush up on your basic electrical theory; namely series versus parallel circuits and the concept of voltage versus amperage BEFORE you start slinging the dung. 8 x 1.5 still doesn't equal 12? Brilliant hack, Kipkay....keep it up.

Anything smaller than a car battery isn't 12 volt? I hope you weren't in charge of anything important in the Navy. A lot of things use these 12 volts, particularly remote car starters and garage door openers. 30 seconds on google would of saved you from looking stupid.
