WTB: Used Batteries for Transceiver

[muted]

Any brand, any condition, as long as they have some life left in them. Must be AA.

What you got Maggots?

[Sierraskier.]

For practice I hope??

[NW_SKIER]

I have some used lithium batteries.

[Hugh Conway]

I've got some leaking dubious brand AAs that I'll sell you for $10 - EACH just make sure you leave them in over the summer.

Weirdest gear swap post ever.

I've got a big box of old AA and AAA I was planning to recycle, but you can have them all for the price of shipping.

[1000-oaks]

I have about half of an ABS airbag nitrogen charge, yours free for the price of shipping. Why pay for a full charge when 60% is probably enough to fill the bags?

[mcski]

I don't have any batteries but I do have a couple of shavers and shoulder massagers if you're into that kinda thing

[Mr. Toad]

Recycled condoms

Recycled? Or reused?

Little column A, little column B.

Melted down after use

Only used once, I think. I'll pick up a few the next time I walk my dog by the lookout point. No brown stains so I'm guessing it went in the right hole but you might want to rinse em out. You could use one of those drying racks used for reusing plastic baggies. What's the worse that can happen? It's not like you'll get buried in an avy and they won't be able to find you. The Energizer bunny would approve.

I have used rechargeables, they usually drain sitting for a day, but if you charge em up, just before sticking them in your beacon, they should be good to go.....

[El Chupacabra]

You know how they make those hand crank radios for emergency use? Someone should make a hand crank avy beacon, so we never have to worry about whether the batteries are fresh.

No....

Very bad idea.

[NW_SKIER]

What about some of those old alkaline batteries with the charge meter on the side? The Duracell power check?

[El Chupacabra]

Or they could just be powered by 9-volt battery, and you can test them buy sticking them on your tongue.

Or a solar powered model, that would save me a ton of money in used batteries. And shipping. Maybe have the solar panel woven into my hat?

You want my AA's or not?

What about a wind powered model, built into the Avalung? So long as you're breathing through it, it's transmitting.

Brilliant. Sounds ripe for Kickstarter.

telemike, I took some out of the wife's transciever. Good for now.

What would happen if you swallowed a single AAA battery? Would you pass it without incident or would you get a nice trip to the ER in a few days? Would the poison get into your system?

Depends on how thoroughly you chew before swallowing.

You can avoid poisoning by swallowing two of them, first one positive side down and second one negative side down. That way they cancel each other out.
