Compliments of friend, we mow have a good example of what happens
when one shorts the terminals of a 9V Duracell ProCell alkaline
battery.


That's interesting, they make 9 volts with 6 cylindrical cells.
I remember taking 9V batteries apart in the '60s and they were
a flat stack of rectangular cells

Once I thought it was safe to put 2 9 volts together...they started
smoking and crackling in my pocket!
