this reminds me of when i hacked my car battery. Inside I found 10 D size batteries, a gargamel (smurfs) action figure and a barbecue beef hot pocket, fully cooked. I suggest everyone look and see what's inside their car battery too.

Not fake. Done it. Done the 12V one too, but there were D batteries inside, not AAs

This is a fake how to video. 12v AA batteries contain battery acid, not button cells. This is hazardous.

AA batteries are 1.5 volts not 12 volts maybe you got the wrong ones.

100% genuine if you live in the States AND use an Energizer A23. I got two at Target (granted, they weren't 1.88, but I was there, so..), and opened them up. EIGHT BUTTON CELLS INSIDE. You MUST use an ENERGIZER A23.
