I see things as patterns, I always have. When something deviates from an established pattern, it sticks out like a sore thumb. I can deal with a fake accent, BUT THE CAPTAIN KIRK THING IS BUGGING THE HECK OUT OF ME! (even though I enjoy double and triple puns myself.) 

You   know   what I am talking   about.

I appreciate the extra hints though.

What the hel_ is this?

Is it a TPU or a EPU?
I will have to search the patent data base with "EPU" later.

Here's a 9V battery, with the housing removed.  It's actually six AAAA batteries wired in series.  Handy if you run out of AAA and you have a 9V laying around.  They're a little smaller than AAA batteries but they work fine.  It's not hard to imagine 13 or so of these strung together fitting into the 6" TPU.

300mAh *13 = 3.9 Amp - Hours.
  Wrong.  See Kames' retort below.
9*13 = 117 Volts.

You should be able to pull a full amp for 20 minutes before the batteries start to precipitously crash, according to typical discharge curves for single 9V batteries at 1 Amp.

edit:  Looks like I was being overly optimistic.  Still, I calculate that 300mAh should deliver 1 amp for 18 minutes, though at such high current, the voltage will crash pretty quickly

I just weighed my stripped-down 9V.  Result: 36.5 grams.
13 of these will weigh 474.5g  = 16 ounces.
