it’s up guys thanks for joining us today on the king of random batteries are
on the king of random batteries are
on the king of random batteries are everywhere and we use them to all sorts
everywhere and we use them to all sorts
everywhere and we use them to all sorts of stuff and a lot of the time they come
of stuff and a lot of the time they come
of stuff and a lot of the time they come with warnings saying to make sure you
with warnings saying to make sure you
with warnings saying to make sure you dispose of them properly and how they
dispose of them properly and how they
dispose of them properly and how they can be dangerous if you misuse them well
can be dangerous if you misuse them well
can be dangerous if you misuse them well today we’re gonna take this group of
today we’re gonna take this group of
today we’re gonna take this group of batteries and we’re gonna run them
batteries and we’re gonna run them
batteries and we’re gonna run them through a series of destruction tests to
through a series of destruction tests to
through a series of destruction tests to see what happens if you stab them cut
see what happens if you stab them cut
see what happens if you stab them cut them open smash them or even burn them
them open smash them or even burn them
them open smash them or even burn them so let’s get started not too long ago I
so let’s get started not too long ago I
so let’s get started not too long ago I tried using a nail to slightly dent a
tried using a nail to slightly dent a
tried using a nail to slightly dent a battery to help balance a homopolar
battery to help balance a homopolar
battery to help balance a homopolar motor well now I’m gonna see what
motor well now I’m gonna see what
motor well now I’m gonna see what happens if I take a nail and drive it as
happens if I take a nail and drive it as
happens if I take a nail and drive it as far as I can into the battery not just
far as I can into the battery not just
far as I can into the battery not just denting it on the top oh it’s leaking
denting it on the top oh it’s leaking
denting it on the top oh it’s leaking something already there’s liquid coming
something already there’s liquid coming
something already there’s liquid coming out of this battery well that’s a good
out of this battery well that’s a good
out of this battery well that’s a good start
start
start let’s keep driving the nail and see what
let’s keep driving the nail and see what
let’s keep driving the nail and see what keeps happening I’ll be honest I didn’t
keeps happening I’ll be honest I didn’t
keeps happening I’ll be honest I didn’t really think that the nail was gonna be
really think that the nail was gonna be
really think that the nail was gonna be able to drive this far into the battery
able to drive this far into the battery
able to drive this far into the battery as pretty much all the way through it
as pretty much all the way through it
as pretty much all the way through it and it’s still leaking we’ve got this
and it’s still leaking we’ve got this
and it’s still leaking we’ve got this liquid leaking out which I believe is
liquid leaking out which I believe is
liquid leaking out which I believe is potassium hydroxide which is supposed to
potassium hydroxide which is supposed to
potassium hydroxide which is supposed to be fairly irritating if you get it on
be fairly irritating if you get it on
be fairly irritating if you get it on your skin so try and avoid touching this
your skin so try and avoid touching this
your skin so try and avoid touching this stuff our battery is also getting pretty
stuff our battery is also getting pretty
stuff our battery is also getting pretty warm I’m gonna hit it with this little
warm I’m gonna hit it with this little
warm I’m gonna hit it with this little laser thermometer 120 Fahrenheit battery
laser thermometer 120 Fahrenheit battery
laser thermometer 120 Fahrenheit battery is getting quite hot now as a comparison
is getting quite hot now as a comparison
is getting quite hot now as a comparison if I take a scan of a block of metal
if I take a scan of a block of metal
if I take a scan of a block of metal next to it that’s at 65 the battery is
next to it that’s at 65 the battery is
next to it that’s at 65 the battery is at 135 still heating up pretty warm to
at 135 still heating up pretty warm to
at 135 still heating up pretty warm to the touch 36 I’m just gonna stand back a
the touch 36 I’m just gonna stand back a
the touch 36 I’m just gonna stand back a little bit and let it go and see if
little bit and let it go and see if
little bit and let it go and see if anything keeps happening to it as it
anything keeps happening to it as it
anything keeps happening to it as it warms up like this see if I can take an
warms up like this see if I can take an
warms up like this see if I can take an accurate measurement from this far away
accurate measurement from this far away
accurate measurement from this far away showing 145 now
well if I get closer it’s showing 166
well if I get closer it’s showing 166 try and pull the nail out the battery
try and pull the nail out the battery
try and pull the nail out the battery with a hole in it
with a hole in it
with a hole in it I think it’s cooling down a little bit
I think it’s cooling down a little bit
I think it’s cooling down a little bit now feels kind of oily not like really
now feels kind of oily not like really
now feels kind of oily not like really oily but a little oily all right well
oily but a little oily all right well
oily but a little oily all right well I’m gonna try that exact same thing but
I’m gonna try that exact same thing but
I’m gonna try that exact same thing but I’m gonna drive the nail in from the
I’m gonna drive the nail in from the
I’m gonna drive the nail in from the other side more using liquid
going in a weird angle here see if I can
going in a weird angle here see if I can straighten this out oh and since there’s
straighten this out oh and since there’s
straighten this out oh and since there’s a hole I can have go all the way through
a hole I can have go all the way through
a hole I can have go all the way through my thermometer is showing that it’s up
my thermometer is showing that it’s up
my thermometer is showing that it’s up to a hundred degrees Fahrenheit watch it
to a hundred degrees Fahrenheit watch it
to a hundred degrees Fahrenheit watch it just climbing in temperature our other
just climbing in temperature our other
just climbing in temperature our other battery got up to 166 on here and now
battery got up to 166 on here and now
battery got up to 166 on here and now we’re only hitting 116 so it’s
we’re only hitting 116 so it’s
we’re only hitting 116 so it’s definitely warm but it’s not as hot as
definitely warm but it’s not as hot as
definitely warm but it’s not as hot as the other one
the other one
the other one now I’ve driven a nail through either
now I’ve driven a nail through either
now I’ve driven a nail through either end of the battery I think it’s only
end of the battery I think it’s only
end of the battery I think it’s only fair that I try and drive one right
fair that I try and drive one right
fair that I try and drive one right through the side warming up again just
through the side warming up again just
through the side warming up again just hit a hundred degrees Fahrenheit it’s a
hit a hundred degrees Fahrenheit it’s a
hit a hundred degrees Fahrenheit it’s a liquid inside the battery is spurting
liquid inside the battery is spurting
liquid inside the battery is spurting out onto the nail it’s occasionally
out onto the nail it’s occasionally
out onto the nail it’s occasionally making a hissing sound past 130

Fahrenheit 100 40 hovering right around 150 now and once again we have a battery
150 now and once again we have a battery
150 now and once again we have a battery with a hole running right through it
with a hole running right through it
with a hole running right through it holding it still for a couple seconds it
holding it still for a couple seconds it
holding it still for a couple seconds it really does start to heat up in the hand

well I would say that being stabbed with
well I would say that being stabbed with a nail is definitely not good for
a nail is definitely not good for
a nail is definitely not good for batteries now since it should be a fun
batteries now since it should be a fun
batteries now since it should be a fun way to destroy it and I want a good look
way to destroy it and I want a good look
way to destroy it and I want a good look at what’s inside I’m gonna take a
at what’s inside I’m gonna take a
at what’s inside I’m gonna take a hacksaw and cut this see cell battery
hacksaw and cut this see cell battery
hacksaw and cut this see cell battery down in half lengthwise there’s our
down in half lengthwise there’s our
down in half lengthwise there’s our black liquid oozing out
all right I’ve got there’s a black paste
all right I’ve got there’s a black paste just all over the blade of the hacksaw
just all over the blade of the hacksaw
just all over the blade of the hacksaw now turn this upside down cutting
now turn this upside down cutting
now turn this upside down cutting through it from the other side
[Music]
[Music] I think I’ve got it mmm gross well I’ve
I think I’ve got it mmm gross well I’ve
I think I’ve got it mmm gross well I’ve got a dewy paste here and a slightly
got a dewy paste here and a slightly
got a dewy paste here and a slightly less gooey paste here smells a little
less gooey paste here smells a little
less gooey paste here smells a little bit like I’m ammonia this paste looks
bit like I’m ammonia this paste looks
bit like I’m ammonia this paste looks like it’s full of little metal flecks I
like it’s full of little metal flecks I
like it’s full of little metal flecks I need you do some research and find out
need you do some research and find out
need you do some research and find out what is inside a battery rod is coming
what is inside a battery rod is coming
what is inside a battery rod is coming from the negative terminal
from the negative terminal
from the negative terminal so this rod clearly goes down into this
so this rod clearly goes down into this
so this rod clearly goes down into this silvery taste you know about about the
silvery taste you know about about the
silvery taste you know about about the consistency of toothpaste I’d say maybe
consistency of toothpaste I’d say maybe
consistency of toothpaste I’d say maybe a little bit thinner it’s like really
a little bit thinner it’s like really
a little bit thinner it’s like really really compacted dirt kind of texture

this point our next method of destruction might not
our next method of destruction might not
our next method of destruction might not be quite so eventful but I’ve always
be quite so eventful but I’ve always
be quite so eventful but I’ve always wondered what would happen if you just
wondered what would happen if you just
wondered what would happen if you just took two 9-volt batteries and plug them
took two 9-volt batteries and plug them
took two 9-volt batteries and plug them into each other and just let them sit
into each other and just let them sit
into each other and just let them sit I’m sure you’re not supposed to do that
I’m sure you’re not supposed to do that
I’m sure you’re not supposed to do that let’s find out why all right those are
let’s find out why all right those are
let’s find out why all right those are now providing feedback into each other

now providing feedback into each other now I’m just gonna check with the
now I’m just gonna check with the
now I’m just gonna check with the thermometer what temperature they’re
thermometer what temperature they’re
thermometer what temperature they’re getting to I’ll see if they are warming
getting to I’ll see if they are warming
getting to I’ll see if they are warming up a little bit of time 75 ooh some part
up a little bit of time 75 ooh some part
up a little bit of time 75 ooh some part of the battery is a lot warm that’s

temperatures different parts parts of it at about 80 right now other parts are
at about 80 right now other parts are
at about 80 right now other parts are over 90
Oh over a hundred Fahrenheit now that’s
Oh over a hundred Fahrenheit now that’s interesting one of our batteries is
interesting one of our batteries is
interesting one of our batteries is considerably warmer than the other this

hard to tell for sure but I think this
hard to tell for sure but I think this one does feel warmer we’re gonna have to
one does feel warmer we’re gonna have to
one does feel warmer we’re gonna have to cook a steak if you like it rare next up
cook a steak if you like it rare next up
cook a steak if you like it rare next up we’ve got a 20 ton shop press and we’re
we’ve got a 20 ton shop press and we’re
we’ve got a 20 ton shop press and we’re gonna see what happens if we put a
gonna see what happens if we put a
gonna see what happens if we put a couple different types of battery under
couple different types of battery under
couple different types of battery under that and just squish them
that and just squish them
that and just squish them [Music]
we’ve made contact now the squishing
we’ve made contact now the squishing begins well that circle might just bite
begins well that circle might just bite
begins well that circle might just bite right into the battery
we’ve got some stuff oozing out good
we’ve got some stuff oozing out good amount of stuff oozing out on the back
amount of stuff oozing out on the back
amount of stuff oozing out on the back all right I think that’s about as flat
all right I think that’s about as flat
all right I think that’s about as flat this jack is gonna get it it’s pretty
this jack is gonna get it it’s pretty
this jack is gonna get it it’s pretty squished it actually bounced back a
squished it actually bounced back a
squished it actually bounced back a little bit after being squished
now I’ve got a C cell battery under here
now I’ve got a C cell battery under here let’s squish that down and see what
let’s squish that down and see what
let’s squish that down and see what happens

[Music] it’s definitely deforming sideways so
it’s definitely deforming sideways so
it’s definitely deforming sideways so I’m pretty sure it’s just gonna pop out
I’m pretty sure it’s just gonna pop out
I’m pretty sure it’s just gonna pop out in a second or it’s just gonna burst and
in a second or it’s just gonna burst and
in a second or it’s just gonna burst and squirt liquid really far that was
squirt liquid really far that was
squirt liquid really far that was exciting now it really is like
exciting now it really is like
exciting now it really is like toothpaste being squeezed out
is obliterated quite completely
is obliterated quite completely obliterated
let’s whoosh see cell batteries probably
let’s whoosh see cell batteries probably just as broken as when we cut in half
just as broken as when we cut in half
just as broken as when we cut in half that really just oozed out there kind of
that really just oozed out there kind of
that really just oozed out there kind of like toothpaste at one point that was
like toothpaste at one point that was
like toothpaste at one point that was fun now for our next type of destruction
fun now for our next type of destruction
fun now for our next type of destruction I’m gonna try hitting a few different
I’m gonna try hitting a few different
I’m gonna try hitting a few different types of batteries with a blowtorch I’ve
types of batteries with a blowtorch I’ve
types of batteries with a blowtorch I’ve got our 9-volt battery a normal double a
got our 9-volt battery a normal double a
got our 9-volt battery a normal double a battery and then I also have a lithium

see I’m also now wearing a jacket and
see I’m also now wearing a jacket and that’s just for protection in case
that’s just for protection in case
that’s just for protection in case something burns or shoots hot liquid at
something burns or shoots hot liquid at
something burns or shoots hot liquid at me I just want a little bit more

system set up so I can just set the
system set up so I can just set the torch on the battery and then safely
torch on the battery and then safely
torch on the battery and then safely back away let’s give a shot
the bottom seems nice and hot but it
the bottom seems nice and hot but it doesn’t actually look like it’s doing
doesn’t actually look like it’s doing
doesn’t actually look like it’s doing too much
certainly some flames coming out of it

once again the outside gets destroyed
once again the outside gets destroyed immediately hmm
I think it lit okay and now it’s no now

outside inside these lithium batteries there actually is a strip of lithium
there actually is a strip of lithium
there actually is a strip of lithium metal and we’re gonna see if we can take
metal and we’re gonna see if we can take
metal and we’re gonna see if we can take that out that’s what’s causing the
