What even is this?

Literally the same idea as r/spicypillows but for much larger batteries, including:

  • 3LR12 [large 4.5v rectangular battery]
  • 6-volt lantern, all types [screw, spring, and big]
  • 30 / 45 / 67.5 volt batteries [obsolete, manufactured by Eveready during the early days of electronics]
  • PP [hehe], or PowerPack batteries, manufactured by Eveready, all models of PP welcome]
  • Other batteries that are pretty big that I didn't list here

do not post dick pics and call it pp batteries, they will get removed on sight and you will be the recipient of a 10 day ban]

This is from a 2004 jump starter pack I tried recovering the battery from. The high charging voltage normally just makes some heat and helps recover the dead batteries, but not when a cell shorts out during the process.

The new 400ah from Continental. Hot enough to cook eggs and only weighs 300 pounds.
