6V Lantern Battery Rebuild 

This is BS. There are not 4 D cells just shoved inside of a 6v battery. There are 4 1.5 volt type F cells that are encased in bare zinc and wired in series. They are separated by either plastic or paper walls to keep them from shorting out on one another. They use the type F cells, which are the same diameter as D cells but almost twice as long, because they last longer and act more along the lines of a deep cycle battety but are not rechageable. This video is total B.S.

They sell adapters that hold 4 D cells, and they are sized for the standard lantern batteries. It's much better than an old battery and a bit of tape. More reliable too.

I was impressed and surprised there are 4 D cell batteries. Learned a new skill. Thanks JKL

Cheap duracell, cut costs by using D cells instead of the larger F cells that they should have.

These batteries used to be fabricated with four type "F" cells, not "D." Duracell cheapened them by using the lower-capacity "D" cells, and making up for the unused space with a filler at the bottom. At least one other manufacturer, Ray-O-Vac, makes the same battery with actual "F" cells, but Duracell apparently went the cheap way.

Very good 👍 video. It really helps.

Do you need 2 of them to get the lantern on? Mine doesn't work, I have 1 battery only.

EXCELLENT Gorilla Taping wisdom!

It might work but the cells that are inside are longer in length than D cells. Not sure if it’s any cheaer haven’t bought Alkaline D cells for a while or an alkaline lantern vpbattery. I don’t use my lantern vert much, the battery in it was flat when I bought it but I had an unopened one in my tool box.

It's cheaper still if you use rechargeable D cell batteries. Then it's good for the environment and your wallet.

True with most batteries, break down to smaller cells inside the main body of the larger cell. You should do a video on that bro., you'll go viral!

That ain't no Fluke meter for sure.

This is great, I had no idea!

ok, but what practical benefit does this give?

Awesome... can you connect two of that 6v to get 12v?

Now do a video of a 6V battery being producing a charge by a hamster running in a cage.

Spectacular! Now if I could just get mine apart to replace the battery....haven't used it in years, and the top won't unscrew. I HATE to buy another flashlight just because of a dead battery. It's one of the Rayovac 6 Volt Industrial Lantern. Barely ever used. Just been in my car trunk. For 10 years or so.... sigh.

It's actually a good way to get d cell batteries by buying a lantern battery if you notice especially here in America you can buy a two pack of Duracell d batteries for about $3 less than you can buy eight d cell batteries so if you buy the lantern batteries you can have your flashlight batteries for cheaper you actually spending more to rebuild that battery then you are by buying two more

Wow, i did not know it 😱

the ironic part is they didnt even use duracells in their own product

I did not know this lol

Buy a new one cheaper...
