minus-square🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 ℹ️linkfedilinkEnglish18•5 months agoI used to take those 9-volt battery connectors, wire them up together and then recharge a dead 9-volt with a brand new one until the tester strip thing showed they were both even. Surprised they never popped because they would get really hot lol

minus-square@Psythiklink4•edit-25 months agoI had a babysitter that used to do that. Even 7-year-old me thought that was a bad idea but she insisted that it was fine. I wonder what happened to her. I hope she didn’t accidentally harm a kid in an unintentional D-cell-powered terrorist attack.
