Re: Battery Shock!!
It used to be that your could connect 9v batteries up Lego-style (+-+-+-+-+-+-+-) to create HV packs. With the newer alkaline versions, this isn't always possible for more than 2 or 3 batteries as the external dimensions of alkalines are a bit greater than the old carbon-zinc types and the pack quickly bends into a curve.
