Test the Strength of a 9V Battery With Your Tongue
Intro: Test the Strength of a 9V Battery With Your Tongue
Wondering if your battery is running out of juice? Stick it to your tongue briefly to know for sure.
First inspect the battery for any noticeable signs of degradation, rust, battery acid, etc. If the battery seems reasonably clean, stick it to your tongue. You will feel a slight jolt and metallic taste. You'll probably need to calibrate your tongue by testing a fresh battery and a dead battery to get an idea of what to expect.
Luckily my friend SHIFT! was around today to demonstrate. Notice his pained facial expression in the first image, this is definitely a new battery. In the second image he seems unfazed, this battery should disposed of.

Those faces he made are not what he would actually make if he was not doing it for demonstration perposes, i tried it and its only a small momentary "burning" feeling on my tongue

In the experimental process my tongue learned to tell positive from negative and
voltage within 2 volts up to a painful 12VDC. Also DC and AC.
BTW 52 ibles in just a little less then a year ... WOW
