Drop test. Dead ones bounce.
Batteries, that is.
8 u/clover44mag 1d ago I just tried it with a 6 volt and now I have a couple broken toes 2 u/jordanmindyou 1d ago Omg I remember those! We had one in a big ass flashlight in the garage growing up…. Or was that a 12v? 1 u/Wagglyfawn 1d ago What a blast from the past! I remember my dad having a flashlight that took those. And the contacts were like springs, right? I'm pretty sure those were 6 volts. 1 u/TheOnlyLordByron 20h ago if it was square with two round prong things, that's a 9 volt. The guy above you is likely referring to a D battery, which gives the same voltage as a AA or AAA battery, just larger. 2 u/Ezl 18h ago Nah, they’re talking about a lantern battery. I think they still make them but they were more common years ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/nostalgia/comments/18agq3u/our_fathers_all_had_a_nice_big_eveready_battery/
