ugh, when batteries had those stupid buttons you pressed until your fingers hurt, just so you could see if the battery was still good.

Those were a thing? I have never seen/heard of that

Man they were a good idea but the execution. Trying to hold it and get your nails on the two little button.

And inside each battery is.....

The ones in the picture you posted have them. Popular in the late 90s-mid oos. Basically you pressed two little white dots (very hard) at either end of the battery, and the amount of the “power bar” that turned transparent indicated how much life your battery had.

They’re most often used for two purposes - the first is being components of a 9v battery, the second is active styluses for some tablets.

I’m always impressed at the number of batteries that exist:

quite a few there i wasn’t aware of.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > CodyVella 02/01/2017 at 09:02

Oh I knew those thing all to well, I had an original gameboy when every one else had a pocket, or color. And we all know they eat batteries, especially when you’re obsessively trying to because a Pokémon master.

Prior to those, the blister packages in which the batteries came included similar testers for a bit. People rarely held on to the empty packaging, so I think that was the motivation for putting the tester right on the housing. But in every form they were a pain to use. I much prefer a multimeter :)

the first is being components of a 9v battery

If you are in a desperate pinch for some AAA cells, but have a 9V battery handy, you can cut open the case of the 9V. The AAAA cells are the same length and voltage as a AAA (but obviously have less capacity and current capability). The AAAA cells can be substituted for the AAA cells temporarily.

It is definitely a “MacGyver” sort of solution.

Technically, that beautifully demonstrates definition of a battery: an array of cells.

What everyone calls AA, AAA, D, C “batteries” are actually single 1.5V cells. A 9V battery, a lantern battery, and a car battery are really batteries, since they are built up from individual cells.

It does depend on the specific 9 volt battery, though - some use custom rectangular stacked cells instead.

I didn’t know that, but it makes sense. Admittedly, I haven’t hacked up many 9V batteries myself.
