    Default Does Duracell still make those batteries that you test by pressing on 'em?

    Had three bad batteries in the keyboard, Popped 1 new on in (all I had)


    All three flew out voilently onto the floor and also mixed in with the other bad battery.

    Damn which one was the one with all of the life?


    That Tester would've been great in this situation!

    Yeah that was an awesome idea and now they dont work anymore.
    Story in a nutshell, while I was off in Louisiana Gator hunting my buddy Kurtis recharged a battery with a 110 socket. It was one of those electric clear airsoft guns. Sure enough the batteries were dead. He went and put both wires to them positive and negative still it got piping hot and boom the airsoft gun worked perfect again! Thats some balls to try that crap!

    they probably realized they can save like .02 per battery and scrapped it. you can always go buy a battery tester.

    I hate it when you mix the batteries up...i found a stash of batteries this weekend and over 60% of them were dead or almost dead....
