The things that power all your mobile devices and remeber all your data when the mains go down, the most polluting thing ever invented, not only enviromentaly but soccialably, they intrude into ones every move, taxes should be diverted from autos to batteries, apart from those powering medical devices.

But would you talk so face to face? i find that people are inept at withdrawing the telling bone from the ear hole and using natural vocal
comunication.

Cell phones are bad, bad things, but I talk to people face to face alot everyday and it can be pretty bad. Last night I had to escape from a guy who wanted to tell me all about the wonderful reptiles and tarantulas he kept as pets.

Speaking of batteries....
Yesterday I tossed a battery onto my desk and then a few seconds later I look at it and it's smoking :eek:
Turns out I tossed it onto a quarter, which just barely connected the two terminals... My room smelled bad for a few minutes... Yay for shorting a battery?

I read in the candle light, so much nicer and relaxing. Have some Mozart, Vivaldi, Dvorak... in the background. That's my reading environment.
I only use two batteries. The one in my car and in my scooter. I get you can say I also use the ones in my Pocket PC and iPod, but that's it. Oh, and in the remote control... WOW... I use it more than I thought.

Barely use them? I have no such delusions! I have a drawer full of the things, and still seem to always be out of whatever kind I most desperately need when I go looking for one. The Energizer Bunny and I are on a first name basis! :rofl:

I only use AA, AAA and the occasional 9 volt battery.

Um... I doubt that would ever happen.
I read in a very dim environment. My eyes work just fine. Heck, I can read out of someone else's book 2 seats away!
I also walk around in the dark. I never bother to turn on the lights at night. My girlfriend doesn't like that though.

I have an assortment of things with different watch-type batteries...at least now electronic do-dads are starting to get a bit more consistent about using those size 357 ones (or is it 358? I know 'em when I see 'em). Still have flashlights that take C and D batteries, I've lost count of all the AA and AAA batteries. I used to have those more organized...some stuff will only run well with nearly new batteries, but the batteries are still fine for something like a TV remote, so I had two categories of new and used but still good for something batteries. Then there's all the rechargeable batteries in things...camera, iPod, cell phone, cordless phones (don't ask why I have cordless phones and then have one in every room that has a jack :rolleyes:), laptop (2 batteries for that so I always have a backup), cordless drill, :uhh: I think I'll just quit while I'm ahead here. :redface:
8000 mAh, 18.5V (charge as 5 cells), 13G wire,6-pin balancer connector

1C is one times the battery capacity. So 12C continuous, is 8000mAH * 12 = 8.0A *12 = 96A under normal conditions.
RC has a funny nomenclature. I know, .....made me say WTF at first too.
The burst is for under 60 seconds, at 144 Amps!

My favorite battery is the Li-Ion battery in my Light & Motion Arc HID bike headlight.
The entire system (battery + light head) weighs 820 grams, and is significantly brighter than most individual car headlights. It gets boatloads of respects from moron drivers.
That is not a battery it is bomb, Oh, i lied i have a battery in my smoke detector, that infernal thing the goes off every time i do some cooking.

The internet is built with these babies, for disaster recovery, and to protect equipment from surges and spikes, I have installed loads of them in my time:
So indirectly just by using this www site you are contributing to growth of battery use :wink:
