I only have one question......
If you're travelling along and your mp3, or whatever is running on AAA, runs out you then have to make sure that you have a 9v battery and some pliers with you!!!

Surely it would be easier and more space saving to just carry some spare AAA's????

Heheh I didn't know 9v battery was full of 1.5 batteries Maybe its cheaper to get 6 1.5 AAA batteries for price of 1 AAA

@Jones - yeah but maybe you have your DS-1 pedal in the pocket and you want to listen to mp3

I've found another one, this one is even better!

Imagine this: You're on a tour, and need lots of AA batteries for those wireless systems, but you cannot find them. You see your tour bus driver has a spare car battery in the trunk, so what you do? Check out the video
