Get x6 AAAA batteries from a 9V battery - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

Handy (and cheaper?) espcecially if they are not easily found in your area.
Things to note:
1. Only work from a more premium brand battery, e.g. "super charged bunny".
2. The sub cells extracted are slightly shorter than a AAAA battery. You need to add a strip of connector which can be found from the dismantled 9V battery.
3. The sub cells are unmarked (-/+), special care must be taken with the polarity.

Tried and tested myself :
update 1: doesn't work on the battery I disassembled. Maybe only apply to certain brand.
update 2 : as rowards pointed out, indeed only certain 9v battery yield 6 AAAA batteries. Tried on a "super charged bunny" and it works. Though the sub cells are slightly shorter than the normal AAAA batteries - I had to add a strip of connector (from the disassembled 9v battery) to make it work.

It works-but you will need a more premium battery-much like the "copper top" one or the "super-charged bunny" one. I have done it with the copper top battery and it did yield 6 AAAA batteries. I learned that the lower-branded 9 volts do not use AAAA batteries inside (more like pile batteries inside). Try it with the upgrade brands and you will be very satisfied. Just be careful when you pry the casing off the 9 volts.

what a creepy video.... the haunting voice and that porn music...

This is an old Kipkay trick from many years ago. AAAA and AAA batteries are the same size. So you could in a pinch, disassemble one for your tv remote till you get to the store.

AAAA batteries aren't the same size, if you mean internally they might be but an AAA battery definitely will not fit in the stylus normally.

ugh had to buy mine aaaa from microcenter after stopping by couple stores that do not have them.

What uses AAAA batteries? Any tricks for getting N batteries? Those are getting pricey, thankfully me 41cx can go a long time on them.

Pictures!

The htc flyer/view stylus uses them.
For those who are curious about how this turns out, it works, as said before. Here are some pictures about HOW exactly it works. I used a 9v Energizer battery.

works great thanks!!

Big caution here folks...the negative end (with the peg) is unfinished and EASILY prone to short circuits. Last thing you want is your pen becoming a trick exploding cigar.
The reason these are smaller than an actual aaaa batteries is because they are unfinished. They don't have a cover on the negative end (with peg) and no familiar "button top" on the positive end.
Also, some cheaper brand batteries that have these quadruple a's in them don't always have a full 1.5 volts. Some under rate as low as 1.3 and will cause the pen to behave funny (like constantly write without touching the screen). I guess when they are connected in a series to make the 9v, it's close enough. You get what you pay for sometimes.
Anyway, would hate to see anyone hurt. Beware if your pen feels warmer than your hand!
Cheers!

I tried that, it actually work without adding a strip. I just pull the "spring" longer and it work
