12 Volt Battery Hack! You won't believe your eyes!!!!! (updated)

Inspired by the instructable by Kipkay I thought I'd pick up some of my own batteries of a different brand...And, boy, was I surprised!

Step 1 Open sesame:

I bought the batteries in a two pack at "ye 'ol supercenter" for about $1.88 US. After unpacking them, I just used my handy dandy mini leatherman to pry up the casing on the positive end.

WTF... not really funny. BE CAREFULL: you should NOT OPEN any battery yourself!

[geeklord]

OMG OMG OMG ORLY?

[geeklord]

YEA!, and guess what, I'm still alive andfully functioning.

[ReCreate]

WOW WOW WOW WOW ORLY ORLY?(if you don't eat it daily, you should stay alive XD)

I opened an alkaline battery too. what happened was not mild burning do to acid. I am now a ghost typing on a computer

[Redgerr]

once we see that it is safe (from kipkay) then it is okay because you can't hurt yourself with the 12v. I do understand hat it is dangerous to open any other though

[mspark400]

Except for most 9 volt batteries as they contain 6 AAAA batteries. Be careful though as some 9 volts still contain a non sealed battery. cheers, mspark400

[cdousley]

Its easy to tell the ones with 6 aaaa have a papery bottom acid battery's are solid metal

[whatup.dub]

The real battery had 8 button "watch batteries" in it in a wrapper. (already knew what I was going to find) But I agree, opening batteries is dangerous.

[Project D]

Yeah, but...his is funny. Yours is kinda boring. He gets my vote.

[stormende]

Hahaha
Dude, you should be mor careful with this stuff. Most people will do what you said and won't care to read the whole instructable. Well if they buy the sutff and tear it apart, call Duracell and claim some money for the advertising!

:D

ROFL

[lemonie]

What's the point of this? L

[whatup.dub]

To tell you the truth, the mission was threefold:

1) get my first instructable online

2) give some props to Kipkay on the instructable at: http://www.instructables.com/id/E9KRTXSF5HVPBRO/
(imitation is the highest form of flattery)

3) to elicit a chuckle or small chortle from a reader of instructables

The point of the Kipkay's, I think, was to reveal to us the contents of the 12V A23 size battery. Very useful information for me.

Thanks for the comments!

Yes, Very Strong language...

[lemonie]

Wow that's really old, and still there. I might remove it (language)

L

[ReCreate]

Ha, Well you did remove it now.

[lemonie]

I still found it amusing, but less than I must have done onriginally. No value in leaving it there really. L (thanks for reminding me of it)

[ReCreate]

Now what is my reward?

[lemonie]

Name a patch you'd like and it's yours - I think you probably deserve one generally. (and if you point me to the image you want you'll get that) L

[ReCreate]

Hmmm...Its so hard i don't know what...Maybe a cookie?

[oinkoinkzoopals]
