Just to have some fun on a weekend afternoon.

Ok safety first and this experiment has to be done outside.
goggles to be used and a glass shield between the batteries under test , camera and user / tester.

Old AA, C or D cell batteries, 10 Amp variac, 240 / 22 Volts 5 kVA transformer, heavy cables and a simple test rig.

Just force currents 60 to 120 Ampères through these old batteries and suprising interesting fire works or explosions may happen. Now you can understand why you don't throw them in a fire or short them out.

I will attach a YouTube link for more detail.

Enjoy, Raymond
