Fun with 300 9v batteries (video)
 

So after my unit deployed I was tasked to clean out the barracks. It got interesting when we got to the supply room of one of them and found boxes and boxes of 9v batteries. We were told either take them or throw them away, what was I to do? Sooooo we took them and me and a buddy spent some time hooking them all up together using 0 gauge amp cable on my coffee table out back.

Do not try to do this yourself, we could have very easily been killed. Just take note of our safety equipment! (or extreme lack there of)

Sorry, not for dialup users. Also watch for a few cuss words, so no kids either.

Christ it's like you were welding that phone....

ha ha ha! thats great! LMFAO! "are you tired of high cell phone bills....." pricelss! now i wanna play with 300 12v car batteries LOL! :twisted:
that would be brighter than my 225 amp welder!
sweet destruction!

that is bad...we hooked 9 of those together got 2 wires and i licked it...that sucked..lmao

James

anybody hooked 2 9volt batteries to eachother and record the explosion? i would wanna see that!

They just get really hot and eventuallly die.


I did this in Xavier University's theater. we recorded approx 2200 volts before we put them together with bare safty cable (aircraft wire)... Lit up the whole theater, great fun, no video (it was on a whim at 1am)... by the calculations we only had 244 ish batteries... hooked them all end to end in a circle.

Sweet tho aint it Jay?
