Compliments of friend, we mow have a good example of what happens
when one shorts the terminals of a 9V Duracell ProCell alkaline
battery.


That's interesting, they make 9 volts with 6 cylindrical cells.
I remember taking 9V batteries apart in the '60s and they were
a flat stack of rectangular cells


Those were carbon-zinc batteries.

I have a red laser pointer that uses overpriced AAAA batteries.
Tearing apart a 9V alkaline battery provides me with a cheap supply.
