Never run out of power again! People are finding out that you can use TINFOIL and AAA batteries if you don’t have AA batteries.
A hack that shows you how you can use AAA batteries instead of AA has become popular on TikTok.
According to the creators of the platform, running out of AA batteries does not necessarily mean that you cannot use your favorite devices.
As long as you have a common and simple household item, you can make a temporary fix and still use your game console, TV remote, or whatever device needs power.
Just taking your battery operated item and your AAA batteries, plus a piece of aluminum foil means you can get the power you need.
TikTok creator shows how his watch’s battery compartment, which is designed for AA batteries, is too big for the AAA battery he has on hand
TikTok user @jameshawkins4825 is among those who have shared videos about the hack.
He created a shorten showing viewers how he made a smaller AAA unit fit into a wall clock that usually requires larger AA batteries.
He captioned the video: ‘AA battery hack. Just a little tin foil turns any AAA into an AA!’
In the clip, he first filmed himself removing the dead AA battery from his watch.
He then picks up an AAA and demonstrates how it’s too small to fill the battery bay, which is designed for a larger unit.
But using a small piece of aluminum foil, crumpled into a ball, he shows how it is possible to make the smallest batteries work in the device.
However, despite this, it shows how it is possible (temporarily at least) to use the power packs interchangeably.
The TikTok user takes a small piece of aluminum foil and crumples it into a ball. He then places it at one end of the battery compartment.
With the foil taking up space in the compartment, the smaller battery now fits snugly, showing how you snap it into place.
Once the hack is complete, and the AAA battery and foil are in place, it shows the clock running again.
Viewers were shocked by the stunt and revealed that they didn’t know until they saw the video.
Viewers revealed that they did not previously know about the simple trick and expressed surprise at how easy it is.
One wrote: ‘OMG all these years and it was that easy…’
And another said, ‘I was these years old when I learned this.’
Meanwhile, a third added: ‘Why didn’t I know this?’
Some have noted that the hack is not designed as a long-term solution and may only work for a couple of hours.
It is recommended that you replace the batteries with the appropriate ones for your device.
