I presume that many of us carry a device that is battery powered.

We all probably have many batteries floating around.

How do you tell, if you don't have a multi-meter, which battery is worth keeping.?

This is a simple test, (I love simple).

Now I haven't tested this, so I don't know if it's true.

Check it out.

I don't regret my past, I just regret the time I've wasted with the wrong people.
Take me as I am, or watch me as I go.
I'll retire when I can no longer do what I love, or no longer love what I do.
Stop moving, start dying........

"How do you tell, if you don't have a multi-meter"

Agree.. But what do you do if you don't have a white tiled counter top handy? Smile

I went through the video. I don't have multi-meter at home. So will I get the result by just placing the battery on the ground.

Quick way to tell if a battery still has juice.
Touch the positive and negative lead to your tongue. Wink
