The UK's #1 source of anecdotal kettle/teapot reviews

Thursday, August 02, 2007

We have acquired GREAT POWER

GREAT POWER to the power of 12. 12 batteries, designed for cameras, but we're currently displaying them on the mantelpiece as a great conversation piece for if a person ever comes round.

GREAT POWER

They are official battery shape/power designation CR123A. That alone speaks volumes about the size and depth of our shared battery heritage.

GREAT POWER

For comparison purposes, we have placed a couple beside a Xuripai AA. These are currently on display at the Idiot Toys Modern Battery Museum.

GREAT POWER

They give you some great new ideas for ways to dangerously dispose of a battery. Who would've thought crushing a battery would be dangerous? What if you're a bit fat and clumsy and stand on one with your shoes on?

GREAT POWER

GREAT BATTERY. Shame we have nothing that takes them, so cannot road test their actual power greatness.

Is there a difference between "heat above 212F" and "incinerate"?

wuprdp - why do I keep getting ones ending in dp. Is Captcha coming on to me?

Incinerate! Incinerate! You can't even boil them in the kettle, let alone incinerate them.

rubbish.

212F is only 100C, so it's OK to drop them in boiling water provided it's not at more than atmospheric pressure (eg at the bottom of a deep mine, in a diving bell)

This also implies that you could not for example deep fry them without voiding your warranty.

I bought some "Great Responsibility" batteries at a garage near Ealing, and got some "Great Power" free.

iwukk - yes... yes I do

crush them in the incinerator... its the only way to be sure that the great power is dead.

Oh no! Please don't let this be the start of another battery week!

I'm suffering enough what with the court case and losing my job on that political satire program no-one ever watched ..

What? You want funny as well?!

did you drop the H from your last name because only nonces have H's in their surnames? And you ain't no nonce.

Lithium batteries are actually properly dangerous. An alkaline or something, if it explodes it might sting a bit, but one of these bastards could take an arm off and coat your entire living room in highly corrosive acid if you so much as look at it funny. Hence the extra warnings you don't get on normal batteries.

I was certain that that third image said "serious bum hazard"

Only if the battery is under 15, and Chris H Langam is around.

I came home the other day to find my daughter trying to recharge a couple of non-rechargeable AAs.

But nothing happened.

But if it was impure water - say it had some salt in it or a stock cube, then it would boil at above 100C.

DON'T DROP A BATTERY IN YOUR STEW!

"DON'T DROP A BATTERY IN YOUR STEW!"

WHAT!? FUCK =[


that'd be an utterly awesome warning to have on anything. Of course replace "a battery" with whatever the warning is printed on.


"DON'T DROP A CHRIS LANGHAM IN YOUR KIDS"


shbnp - was going to make a BNP joke. But they aren't funny and i couldn't think of anything else.
