a cellular telephone PS, 10.6VDC, 850 mA. OUCH!!

I've tongue tested (as have probably just about everyone else) a fresh
9V battery, and your battery isn't that much more. Should have given
you a bit of a twinge... :-)

I suspect the internal resistance of the battery limits what can flow
through your nice, wet tongue. I don't remember the short-circuit current
of a typical 9V battery, but it seems to me the last time I tested one
it was in the tens of milliamps.


What a joke. Your tongue isn't enough of a short... at all to pull
such a battery or even single cell down.
