And yes, they've built a battery, and interestingly, they've got it technically correct. Technically, an AA "battery" isn't a battery - it's a cell. It's not a "battery" until you have a whole - well - battery of them. This has gained me points in trivia quizzes, but is so far outside "normal" usage that if you try to correct people about it you get even worse ostracization than correcting people about "less" and "fewer."
