airman Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) So I'm in the middle of a small electronic project, and I go sit down at the table I've been working at, and I pick up the battery to hook it back up to do some testing. I had left it unhooked, standing up, opposite the picture. I found this...perplexed...the "cover" that's missing is nowhere to be found. HOW did this happen? I have never seen a 9v battery do this.

Compxpert Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Hmm odd occurance. Wonder if this happens sometimes or hardly ever. I mean I've seen people take them apart and seen the individual cells of them but I've never seen one come apart on its own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've taken them apart before too, and there is a piece of rectangular cardboard and the plastic piece the metal casing wraps around that is completely missing.

DLS2008 Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 That's weird. I've never seen that happen and I go through 9V batteries like no one's business with paintball lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewr05 Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Weird, its usually Li-Ions that burst due to mishandling/charging... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verran Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Weird, its usually lions that burst due to mishandling/charging... This sentence is VERY funny out of context Also, I've never heard of a 9v doing that -by itself-. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtigerdragon Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 I agree, that's why I put it in my sig! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sentence is VERY funny out of context aha!The wonders of a missed "I" and no hyphen... I agree, that's why I put it in my sig! ahahaha! I didn't even think of it that way! I'm honestly busting a gut here... lmfao Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabrielT Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 What exactly were you doing to the battery before it blowed itself up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
airman Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 What exactly were you doing to the battery before it blowed itself up? Powering a relay, a transistor and a diode - like I said I disconnected it before I got up the night before because even with the relay shut off, there is still a slight current draw and I didn't want the battery to die.

It did that disconnected?!? Strange. We used to leave two 9volts connected shorted together in hopes one would explode in a desk in electronics class. They would swell and get hot, and sometimes leak, but never actually blow up I'm jealous you got one to blow by accident! . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
