I have a 6V lantern battery sitting around somewhere in the garage.  Will try to open it up to verify this fact.

Remember to practice safe knots, because big fish don't just break your line, they also break your heart.

It's all about the math 32 AA Batteries x 1.5 volts each in series= Grand total of 48 volts. Not your average 6 volt lantern battery.

Ummm ... of course you could have 4 in series to make 6V, then have 8 banks of 4 in parallel ... and the math works.
