Nice.. I like it.
Almost as good as the FED mortgage bailout hack.
LAME>
This is VERY DANGEROUS for the kids that will surely try this.
And of course find out it isn’t true, spilling battery acid all over the place – very nasty.
Then again kids have been known to put a .22 caliber bullet in a vise, then try to open it.
“Amazing Battery Hack”
I thought it was about James Hill when he starts attacking others with substanceless one liners.
For about 2.5 seconds I was thinking “why are there batteries in the battery?”
I don’t see anything except for an empty white area.
Are you sure it’s working? I right-click where something is supposed to appear, and it says “Movie not loaded”. Then I went to the source URL of the embedment and had the same problem there.
someone **hacked** your pic.
I spot a trend… IE – nothingness. Firefox – video appears!
Not a good trend, but something that can be addressed, I trust.
WARNING TO THOSE THAT TRY THIS….
DONT…DONT DONT DONT.
This site does not condone your DIEING, or going to the hospital.
What is suggested is a terrible THING to do.
Battery acid on your SKIN, can TAKE THE SKIN OFF, in only a few minutes. IF you get it INTO a wound, it will TEAR your insides UP. YOU WILL DIE.

AAAGGHHHH I CANT SEE..
THANKS FOR BLINDING FLASH OF THE OBVIOUS!
The average DU reader would not be tempted to open a lead acid battery with a screwdriver. At least unless it was a choice of watching another Des Moines Register presidential debate or being permanently scarred by acid.. Then it is a toss up.
haha. i was thinking this was true good thing i read these comments. then again, i suppose the old-school gameboy and the unicorn references should have made me assume it was for laughs only.
Hey, I got ripped off!
I opened the battery in my car, and I found the AA batteries, and the Gameboy… but where is my unicorn???
Besides, this is lame… now I have to go out and buy a new battery for my car since I broke the one that I had!
Does anyone know if motorcycle batteries are filled with AAA’s?
Damned good idea; I, uh, borrowed a few batteries from an undisclosed location, now my wireless xbox controllers will never run out of batteries. Marble Blast rules!
Does that mean I can buy 1,500 AA batteries and repair my dead car battery??? I have an old gameboy with tetris already! Anyone have a spare unicorn I could have?
I’m confused about what the video is supposed to be about. I can’t see it, so can someone fill me in? This has been bugging me for HOURS!
Augh! My eyes! The goggles, they do nothing!
10,
i would rather give a general warning, then to EXPECT some of the current KIDS to know WHAT is inside an Acid core battery.
Iv met persons that Didnt know they had to change/check the water, oil, transmission, steering fluid, Air filters in a CAR. Only after it Stalled and I assisted, did they know that there was a Latch to the HOOD of the car, and that THERE WAS STUFF UNDER THE HOOD. They bought the car 5 years before. NEVER changed the oil, or checked anything. Oil didnt even read off the stick, Tranny was VERY LOW, Wiper fluid was empty, and Radiator, was 1/2 full..
I heard a couple of amateur radio ops reminiscing about burning old car batteries in a heap to collect the lead, which would melt & form a large puddle that solidified. Sure they inhaled a lot of lead fumes & other toxins, but they aren’t dead yet.
I love the disclamer at the end. That’s even funnier than the cool stuff at the beginning. LAME
WTF! It’s been a whole day, and you still haven’t fixed it. I have never had a problem with any other videos on here–only with this one and the other one that hhopper posted yesterday.
Sorry guys, it took me a while trying to find what the problem was. I added a link to the post.
Cool vid, thx.
