@pmarin I’ve got a stack of about 6 of those. Interestingly, many lantern batteries just have 4x D-cells in them. The quality ones have 4x F-cells.
~12 years ago I worked for a company that designed some mobile telemetry devices for the water/wastewater industry; We’d power a 3G modem with hourly check-in calls for about 3 months on a single lantern. Then, suddenly, we got a batch of batteries that was light. The EN529 had 4x D-cells, the “529” had 4x F-cells. But what was wild is that after a whole bunch of back and forth with distributors we learned the Made in USA ones were opposite the Made in Canada ones.
At some point we had a case of ~50 D-cell “529” lantern batteries we just gave to anyone in the company that would use them.
Interesting that their “heavy duty” batteries are only are about 1/3 as energy dense as “Alkaline” batteries, and yet, they’re a battery company.
Coming from Meh, the batteries are probably expired too.

Funny that the video did not show it floating or even turning on when the button was pushed
Want the big ol’ 6V square batteries you used to get. they would even have them by the counter at hardware and camping-related stores.
