How hard it is to kill an unprotected cell?

[MAD777]

Can hear it now: "I bought a flashlight and got a lemon!" LOL

"I call it... the Vitamin SEE!"

Now if only I could do something about the embarrassing yellow stains dripping from my pocket....

Is this cell safe to use or should it be tossed?

 

[Renegadethreads]

I'd say its fine if that is just in the wrap. I re-wrapped one that was worse that that, but didn't get into the metal.

Battery looks fine wimmer, if it gets worse just re-wrap the cell.

Thanks guys!

Somewhere on CPF at this very moment, a visionary inventor is trying to figure out how to power 6 XP-L's on a crate of lemons, and still make it EDC'able....

Hey, don't forget Mr. Potato

2 months ago? And it was nearly dead at the time? daaang. Check the polarity after you are done

Are you planning on trying to recharge it?

I'm trying really hard not to bring up wimmer...

Oh in that case . ( wimmer Vinh has a Christmas gift for you) NOT!!!!!!

But you have to get the correct ratio of lemons to potatoes to mayo to cabbage. That's Ohm Slaw.

Sounds delicious!
And you have light to eat it by... well, until it's gone

 

[lampeDépêche]

you have to be careful, though: too much salt on the potato, and you'll be guilty of a salt and battery.

Mine didn't work but still having faith, as I suspect it was just a lemon.

Crazy

Should we see how long a potato will power it should the cell ever die?

a peeling thought!

I've connected 2AAA nimh (about 400ma) to a 5mm LED and it ran for about 2 months before I couldn't see any light out of it. I'm guessing the more efficient XPG LED off a lot higher mah source will run for several more months before you have to have pitch dark and a magnifying glass to see "the glow".
