10,000 LR44 Battiers for $100

Something is fishy. The weight of 10,000 button cells alone would cost $50 to ship. I saw some on DX, and the people say most are less than half charged. These are obviously company rejects. I wouldnt throw any money away on these. They are cheap enough on DX, and you'll get more than you'll use in a year.

Just my .02

I thought the shipping sounded a little too good as well. hmmmmm
 





I'd almost buy those just so I could say: "Hey! I have 10,000 button batteries!".
 
I've got the DX ones. The ones that are dead are because of DX's poor packing, where the batteries fall out of their holders and short other batteries. Still, for the price, even if half are dead it's a great deal.

10,000 of them... I don't think I could go through them even if I were wasteful. They'd sit on a shelf taking up space. These might be batteries they're trying to offload so they don't have to pay for hazardous material recycling too.

Friend: Hey, you wouldn't happen to have any LR44 button cells, would you?

If you put all of these in series, you'd end up with a 18kg, 54 metre long 15kV battery bank capable of about 120mA, or 1.8kW total power.

Sounds like it could be some fun :p

Or I could set them all up in parallel and run my wall clock for the rest of my life.
 
they had a deal last year on AAAs. forgot the qty and price. they were abt $15.00 maybe for 20 batteries. most were not fresh.
 
To each their own I guess. I just dont have the heart to throw 10,000 batteries in the ground.
 
I have an idea.

Harvest the lithium from the batteries, then put it in aluminum foil along with 200 old Colman lantern mantles. Heat with a blowtorch and filter the resulting heavy metal from the end product.

Next, dissolve all the un-dark paint of old clocks in acetone. Then put the solution in a test tube with a string attatched, and spin as fast as you can for as long as you can. Collect the white powder from the bottom of the test tube.

Put the white powder in an aluminum foil cup, and place a beryllium disk on top. Next place the metal retrieved from the mantles in on the beryllium disk.

Congratulations! You're making plutonium!
 
That sounds way too easy.
