I always use caution with car batteries. And when it comes to the small ones I tape them side-by-side when storing if they are loose just to keep from corrupting themselves but I never thought of this. It says it's for Kids, but it is really meant for adults.

We recycle all of our batteries at work. Taping the ends has been a common practice for years for just this reason. The local fire inspector was surprised that we did it and had never thought of doing the taping. He has since pass it along to other companies.

 

I just stick my tongue between the posts of the battery to drain the battery!!

 

Good to know!

 

That explains a lot!
