cleaning up around the house this morning, I found our stash of batteries, including a brand new 9volt that I need for my multi-meter, so I stuck it in my pocket. continuing to clean up, I found various little bits, adapters and coins, which I proceded to toss in the same pocket. then I sat down for lunch, and then also here at the computer to check up on North Carolina Woodworker before going to see Skysharks. I noticed a warm sensation in my pocket, in fact, it was quite hot. A little confused, I reached into my pocket to pull out a HOT 9 volt battery that had had a likewise HOT penny shorting the terminals.  My dad (a lifelong physics teacher) would be amused at how much I have forgotten about circuits 
guess after the battery cools down, I'll check it to see if I can put in the meter

Once the battery cools, you'll probably need to clean the copper off of it, which is done as follows:
1) Hold the battery by the base, pointing the terminals up
2) Extend tongue from mouth
3) Place tongue across both terminals simultaneousy, ensuring sufficient coverage

That's how I check 9 volt batteries to tell if they are good. | |

Just be glad you didn't find any steel wool to shove in your pockets as well! You'd have been stripping your pants off in a hurry. Joey Green's WackyScientist.com

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Pete, don't knock yourself too bad. I did the same thing a few weeks ago. It was even for my multimeter! I just wasn't going to admit it to anyone! | |
