Bouncing a battery to see if it's dead? News...

[Mooch]

Just a FYI, for any other battery nerds here...

Battery bounce test often bounces off target

Yea, it's just for primary (non-rechargable) cells but I thought it was interesting in case you might have heard of this being tried on rechargable cells too. Rare to see a video that so clearly demonstrates what's being discussed!

My bad, thank you!

Doesn't feel like a good idea to drop batteries...

probably due to the degree of wetness inside the battery.

Interesting article, I never heard that before! (This comes from a 9V "battery-licker").

However, the effect they are describing is very specific to the chemistry of zinc batteries (disposable, non-rechargeable). I doubt it would apply to the batteries used for PV's (and even if it did, whether the bounciness would be a good or bad thing).

It's not hard to figure out the health of a rechargeable if you have a good charger. See how long it takes to charge, what current it draws while charging, etc.

I agree. And would never want someone here to try that on a toasty hot cell!

He he that what they do in prison. But it is for non rechargeable batteries. Kinda dry out when they deplete the charge. So they get harder and more bounce. I seen guys bit the cells to see if it is still good. Not everyone can get a mutili meter
