Bouncing AA Alkaline Batteries

I tried this, and it really works...

heard that before, but never tried it.

Huh??

 

[4pyros]

Wonder if to would work with 9 volt batteries

mmm...I smell a rat here.

Thats what I thought at first too.

^^^I need to investigate this.
Still mmmm.

I have a pile of AAs here, including some virgins. They are all Duracells. I purposely mixed up a half dozen virgins with a half dozen used ones that came out of my camera (which still have some useful life). I sorted them by bouncing them, and then measured with my Fluke, and the six new ones wound up in one pile and the used ones in the other (100% correlation)...

...I might be wrong...maybe I have stuff to learn still...
mmm Still smell a rat. In the kitchen?

Sitting here thinking.

Dont let it hurt. LOL

I do the bouncing, not the battery cells.

I use many AA alkaline cells and AA Hi-MH cells. I test them with a battery tester that puts a 10 ohms load on each cell so I can see the voltage collapse on a dead cell that measures pretty good on my high resistance multimeter.

Thanks AG

The whole thing is so crazy..I almost fell for it. Literally.
I had pictures in my mind of people "testing" batteries by bouncing them off a Concrete floor

Then I smelled BS. I mean, I tease and joke a lot...so why should others not do it to me?

Gotta take as good as you give. As long as it brings smiles to faces here...I am a happy chappy

All the best,

No BS: But have you tried it?

I drop them onto the anvil on a small bench vise from a height of ~2". The flat ones go thud, the good ones go clank. You can tell by the sound without looking for the bounce...

Hi Mike

I really don't know how to answer this...except I have hearing problems. So I will not know what has bounced and the sound and all.

Sure I can check casings after throwing them...looking and so on. I can impress Customers this way too. Throwing AA's around the front of the shop..

Like...they bring a Remote Control in. AA's of course. Take the Batteries out and bounce them round the shop....see which of the two bounces the worst/least.

I really think I am being had here. Someone is meddling with my Brain.

Gotta think about this
