 I get "Video Unavailable". Perhaps you stumbled across a valuable secret.

Hi Walter & Alan,

Yes, this is a joke...not a way to test batteries ;-))

I like ColtPiggerton's comment: 
"If you believe this, I have a salt lamp I'd like to sell you."

And Karl Ream's comment:
"Lightbulbs can be tested like that too. Drop them from 6 feet onto a concrete 
floor. If it shatters, it's no good. If it bounces, it's good."

Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Walter

Good video, but I think the guy should be marketing his ceramic tiles.

I tested some new, middling and old AA and AAA batteries with a voltmeter and 
the bounce test on several surfaces.  Inconsistent results!

Cheers

Hi Peter,

This time I won't type  the URL, I'll copy and paste instead,

Good morning all,

Just replaced my bluetooth keyboard batteries.

The method below actually works. Worth watching the 90 sec. clip. Pretty cool.
