What's a way to use up old 9 volt transistor batteries? I've
got a couple dozen that still have some charge. I figure
with a couple battery clips, I could put two in series. Dump
the charge into 12 volt lead acid batteries to keep my
devices going some day when the power is out.
One of the charge bases for my FRS walkies takes 9 volts in.
Maybe rig something up, and parallel a couple transistor
batteries to keep FRS walkie charged.
Just hate to throw them all away.

You can have fun putting the terminals on your tongue to see which ones
have more juice.

Yeah, I used to do the "taste test" too, but all it tells you is whether
or not the battery is absolutely dead.
It is fun, though.

More fun when you do it with the neighbor kid's tongue.

Put some tuna on the terminals and leave it for the neighbor's cat.
