I recently dissected a depleted Duracell(tm) MN1604 9-volt alkaline 
"transistor" battery to recover the snap connectors.  I was surprised to

find that it contained six cylindrical cells smaller than AAA size, 
connected by spot-welded stainless steel straps.  Most similar batteries

contain wax-covered stacks of flat rectangular cells. The cylindrical 
cells are individually insulated and can be separated or rearranged for
special applications.  The manufacturer rates them at 500 milliampere-
hours.  (AAA-cells are 800 mA-h; N-cells are 650 mA-h.  See previous 
posting about alkaline-cell capacities.)
