There are two videos here showing how to take aprt batteries to get more 
expensive batteries (button cell batteries) from inside the original less 
expensive battery.  The top video is the most interesting.  I don't know how 
safe this is , though the guy on the video says it is 
safe......................

"Hands up who hates buying batteries. (I had both hands up in the air by the 
way, briefly, but had to put them down to continue writing this article). 
Anyway, batteries are the bane of my life. It seems almost every toy we have 
for our children or gadget for ourselves require batteries. And they need 
them in all shapes and sizes. The worst offenders are those button-cell 
batteries. Small and costly...until I saw the coolest video. 

Kipkay over at Metacafe has done it again, with a life hack and battery hack 
that will save you roughly $40 on those 1.5V button cell batteries. All you 
need is a 2-pack of 12V A23 batteries, which retail at less than $2 a pack. I 
found my set on Amazon for $1.66. Energizer A23BP-2 Batteries (2-Pack)"

$40 from a 12V battery
