Re: battery testing

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
Alan

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
