Well you shouldn't try to charge non rechargable batteries, but I do remember a device you could buy that was said to recharge old alkaline batteries.

A bit dangerous I would have thought. There was a vogue a few years ago
of devices to charge the zinc carbon type. If you charge them at a low
rate it reverses the depolarising function of the manganese dioxide, do
the cell should last until the electrolyte eats through the zinc case
and leaks.

In WW2 they did this for the torch batteries used by watchmen &c.

So what;s the differnce between a term and ID a name and a label.

When the cops ask you for your ID they want more than your name.

And if you didn't give it, they could charge you, you could be accused of assualt and battery is that it ;-)

In the USA that wouldn't surprise me. FFS they have a law against crossing the road without waiting for the green man (or walk signal in their case).

I think it's called j-walking.

Indeed. Americans are so stupid they get into trouble for endangering themselves.

They do worse things IMO.


When a studnet asks me for a barrery I asked them what type. When they say 1.5V then I asked them what size. AA or AAA are those we use.

To that question I then usually get "er.... the really thin one".

I'd say, what for a realyl thick student, I do try to educate my students, I;d like to think that when a studetn leaves with a degree they can at least tell batteries apart. Our thin batteries are mostly LiPos.


https://www.rapidonline.com/trupower...350mah-70-0003

You can get those in AAA can you?

No but you can get them in the size they make them in.
How many square AA batteries would you like to buy ?


If they ask for a 9V they'll get a PP3. I often get asked for 5V battereis and I say we havent; got any.
If they ask for a battery called Tom, Dick or Harry I'd asked them for the order code and supplier.

I'd ask them if they'd forgotten their medication.

yes that would be a good reply.

(in US
cop shows). (British cops just ask you for your name and address
supposedly.)

sometimes they ask DOB too.
At my college there's another with the same name as me, so just a name wouldn't be much to truely ID a person.

Does he live at your address?

No but sometimes we get each others emails. (email addresses)

There should be more names so everyone is unique.

People can make up names if they wish, you made yours up but chose traditional



Same with batteries really.

Not if you also gave their address, which I guess would be "kitchen clock".

wouldnl't tell me which type of battery they took would it.

All clocks use AA.

Yeah sure. How many clocks take square AAs ?



I just installed a remote (wirless) battery bell push unit.
The battery is the bell push is apparently a 12V 23A alkaline battery according to the instruction manual.
See how much confusion can arrise that;s why I try to be clear to all my students, a student asked me for our box cutters she meant end cutters so I showed her the differnce between our end cutters and our side cutters.

Its why I like to find the proper name for things even if I then prefer not to use it.

99% of people are thick, ignorant, or just plain stupid.

Are you trying to use this stat to prove you're normal ?

Historically, it is known as SP7 (Standard Power 7) or HP7
(High

it
is colloquially known as a "double A battery".

So AA didn't replace SP7, it's just another name, of which there
are about 20.


Which is why AA had to be the same shape and size and it didn't
replace SP7 it mostly replaced HP7 .

Yes I know which is why it was a good idea to keep it the same shape
and dimentions Making AA square would have meant them not being
usable
in any equipment which previously used HP7s, and that;'s why i think
they decided to make them cylindical, I doubt they considered the

significant to teh majority.

about stuff falling off tables?

Probbaly not, otherwise such things as tennis balls, footballs...

them
totally stupid idea they should have done what the Egyptians did and

Those fiendish japs had enough of a clue to have no wheels at all, not
even

They got their jollys chopping of the heads of the peasants

Even their chopsticks are square where it

Those things are required to roll to perform their function. Batteries aren't.

Those AA had to be cyclindrical to fit in the applieances they were made for
it's that simple.

You can make an appliance any shape.

So, why make cars squarish why not round or pyramid shape ?
I guess yuo failed those inteligence tests as a child when given blocks of differnt shapes to put in similar shaped holes.
Did you sit there crying because you couldn't get the square peg in the round hole, or crying because the round hole was your arse.

Cars need to be aerodynamic, not so with simple devices running on batteries.

Cars don't need to be aerodynamic it;s an advantage for some if they are.
In fact most cars such as the 4X4 arenl;t designed for high performance racing and the main design emphesis isn't on aerodynamic styling.

And if you didn't give it, they could charge you, you could be accused of assualt and battery is that it ;-)

let almost anyone have almost any sort of gun they want and as many as they want.


When a studnet asks me for a barrery I asked them what type. When they say 1.5V then I asked them what size. AA or AAA are those we use.

To that question I then usually get "er.... the really thin one".

I'd say, what for a realyl thick student, I do try to educate my students, I;d like to think that when a studetn leaves with a degree they can at least tell batteries apart. Our thin batteries are mostly LiPos.

https://www.rapidonline.com/trupower...350mah-70-0003

You can get those in AAA can you?

No but you can get them in the size they make them in.
How many square AA batteries would you like to buy ?

47.

So you think a battery company is going to make you a batch of 47 square AA batteries, they won't ask for 47,000 or more and you might get them.


If they ask for a 9V they'll get a PP3. I often get asked for 5V battereis and I say we havent; got any.
If they ask for a battery called Tom, Dick or Harry I'd asked them for the order code and supplier.

I'd ask them if they'd forgotten their medication.

yes that would be a good reply.

(in US
cop shows). (British cops just ask you for your name and address

At my college there's another with the same name as me, so just a name wouldn't be much to truely ID a person.

Does he live at your address?

No but sometimes we get each others emails. (email addresses)

There should be more names so everyone is unique.

People can make up names if they wish, you made yours up but chose traditional

What?
Whats so original in the name you've chosen James Wilkinson Sword
Never heard of a james or a wilkinson or sword.
I've a pair of scissors here with wilkinson sword written on the bald
did yuo thiunk that wilkinson sword was an original name or ID.
You should have chosen james AA square battery.





Same with batteries really.

Not if you also gave their address, which I guess would be "kitchen clock".

wouldnl't tell me which type of battery they took would it.

All clocks use AA.

Yeah sure. How many clocks take square AAs ?

Irrelevant.

If you;'re making AA batteries because they go in clocks your better off making those batteries cyclindrical NOT square.


I just installed a remote (wirless) battery bell push unit.
The battery is the bell push is apparently a 12V 23A alkaline battery according to the instruction manual.
See how much confusion can arrise that;s why I try to be clear to all my students, a student asked me for our box cutters she meant end cutters so I showed her the differnce between our end cutters and our side cutters.

Its why I like to find the proper name for things even if I then prefer not to use it.

99% of people are thick, ignorant, or just plain stupid.

Are you trying to use this stat to prove you're normal ?

Normal means the same as most people. Same as most people = thick. So clever folk like me are unusual, not normal.

Your certainly not normal, that's for sure.
If yuo;r so inteligent why not get a batch of square AA batteries produced yuo'll make a fortune no one else is selling square AA batteries.
So fgo for it the only one in the worl woth squar AA battereis you'll make a killing won't you with you;re unigue selling points of, "Not made for Normal people", "these batteries won't roll of your desk or table".

What a **** you are. I always helped colleagues out,

Helping collegues is differnt from students, but if either wants a PP9 which is about £4 not 20p then I'll still have to order it. Even if I wanted one for myself I'll still have to order it.



even if it was for home use. It's only a 20p battery ffs.

Zinc Chloride (better), and Alkaline (the ones that actually lasted more than 1 day. I never saw the point in anything but Alkaline, it superseded the two Zinc ones.

I saw the point of NiCds, and of lead acid.

I was talking about single use batteries.

Theere were others silver oxide and zinc air have high capacities and still used.

Only for little coin shaped batteries for hearing aids etc.

and for many other things otherwise they wouldn't be sold.

You've asked why AA batteries aren't square, haven;t you managed to work it out yet, I've given you plenty of clues.

If yuo believe peole still want square AA batteries then why not go to some company and get some made and sell them.

That's logical. Give everyone a gun so they can kill everybody, but not let them cross the road without a light telling them it's safe. So they're only allowed to endanger OTHER people?

No they are allowed guns to protect themsleves from bad people with guns it's self defence apparently just like the recent attack. Where were all these heros with guns ?. I'll bet they were crying in a corner ****ting themselves.

Too late, all the devices have been made with the holders the wrong shape.

So best to make batteries that fit the billions of holders waiting for a battery to be inserted, which as I said is why they donl;t make square AAs have you got it yet ?

See if a company makes a square AA they are unlikey to sell any becausxe there's nothing around needing a square AA apart from you.
So what is this product you have that takes a square AA, maybe cyclindrical batteries get lost in yuor arse, and you think sqaure batteries might stay in place longer is that it, perhaps the copper coloured top is actually brown in your world

That happens in primary school.

Then why do they want a PP9 would be my question.
The most likely anwser is usually "that's what I found on google".

If they still want them all tehy have to do is write it on their order form and I'll order it. But as I've never been asked for one then I tend not to stock it.
I haven't the space to buy every product in existance just in case a student asks for it.


£4 for a battery is too much this year we have 320 new students.

I wouldn't hand out hundreds, but the odd student asking for one does no harm, especially if they're cute.

They can have one but they have to request one on their order form just like anything else for their project those are the rules the department sets, it's been like it for years and works quite well.
I'll treat it in exactly the same was as did when I was asked to order a basket ball and hoop.

Why do you think people want square AA batteries ?

So they don't roll away. Easier to stack too for storage.

But what wil they use them in I"ve never seena product that takes a 1.5V square battery.



You've asked why AA batteries aren't square, haven;t you managed to work it out yet, I've given you plenty of clues.

Only reason is pressure, but batteries aren't under pressure. Or cheaper to make.

If yuo believe peole still want square AA batteries then why not go to some company and get some made and sell them.

Can't be done as the products that use AA already take round ones.

exactly so why would peole want to buy square ones so they canb keep them on the table looking at them because they won't fit in anything they have ?

That's logical. Give everyone a gun so they can kill everybody, but not let them cross the road without a light telling them it's safe. So they're only allowed to endanger OTHER people?

No they are allowed guns to protect themsleves from bad people with guns it's self defence apparently just like the recent attack.

Americans never understand that the guns that protect them are the very same guns that mean they need protection in the first place. Then they come out with bull**** about the UK being full of knives. I'd rather someone came at me with a knife than a gun. Way more chance of defending myself. Plus knives actually have a use - cutting food etc. No need for any gun to exist anywhere.

Well some might need them if attacked by bears or other wild animals out in the country, then there's sport so there are a few reasopns for wanting a gun even in the UK.


Where were all these heros with guns ?. I'll bet they were crying in a corner ****ting themselves.

ROFL!

When a studnet asks me for a barrery I asked them what type.. When they say 1.5V then I asked them what size. AA or AAA are those we use.

To that question I then usually get "er.... the really thin one".

I'd say, what for a realyl thick student, I do try to educate my students, I;d like to think that when a studetn leaves with a degree they can at least tell batteries apart. Our thin batteries are mostly LiPos.

You can get those in AAA can you?

No but you can get them in the size they make them in.
How many square AA batteries would you like to buy ?

47.

So you think a battery company is going to make you a batch of 47 square AA batteries, they won't ask for 47,000 or more and you might get them..

I'm sure someone else wants them too.

Yes but they are still in the institution and won't be let out anytime soon.

You just think I'm mental because you're mental yourself.

Where did I say you are mental, I might have saod strange or weird, but anyone running around naked in the cold asking for square AA batteries I'd find a bit odd at the very least.


If they ask for a 9V they'll get a PP3. I often get asked for 5V battereis and I say we havent; got any.
If they ask for a battery called Tom, Dick or Harry I'd asked them for the order code and supplier.

I'd ask them if they'd forgotten their medication.

yes that would be a good reply.

(in US
cop shows). (British cops just ask you for your name and address
supposedly.)

sometimes they ask DOB too.
At my college there's another with the same name as me, so just a name wouldn't be much to truely ID a person.

Does he live at your address?

No but sometimes we get each others emails. (email addresses)

There should be more names so everyone is unique.

People can make up names if they wish, you made yours up but chose traditional

What?
Whats so original in the name you've chosen James Wilkinson Sword
Never heard of a james or a wilkinson or sword.
I've a pair of scissors here with wilkinson sword written on the bald
did yuo thiunk that wilkinson sword was an original name or ID.
You should have chosen james AA square battery.

James was the first forename I thought of. Wilkinson was the first surname I thought of. The Sword followed on due to the blade company.

So not exactly unigue, you do know my surname is wilkinson don't you ?

You're called Whisky Dave in here. How am I supposed to know what your surname is?

I assume dyou;d seem my post reqrding the other dave wilkinson that works here, you did reply to that post about the differnce between names and IDs.


It's a bit of a slur on my family name you chosing it for yours.

Cheeky ****.

:-D


wouldnl't tell me which type of battery they took would it.

All clocks use AA.

Yeah sure. How many clocks take square AAs ?

Irrelevant.

If you;'re making AA batteries because they go in clocks your better off making those batteries cyclindrical NOT square.

No need for the battery holder in a clock to be round.

It had to be round otherwise the battery wouldn't have fitted properly.

If AA had been made square in the first place, the problem wouldn't have arisen.

But no one would have brought then as they were used in the same devices as SP7s HP7s so where made in the same shape for that to happen.


Its why I like to find the proper name for things even if I then prefer not to use it.

99% of people are thick, ignorant, or just plain stupid.

Are you trying to use this stat to prove you're normal ?

Normal means the same as most people. Same as most people = thick. So clever folk like me are unusual, not normal.

Your certainly not normal, that's for sure.
If yuo;r so inteligent why not get a batch of square AA batteries produced yuo'll make a fortune no one else is selling square AA batteries.
So fgo for it the only one in the worl woth squar AA battereis you'll make a killing won't you with you;re unigue selling points of, "Not made for Normal people", "these batteries won't roll of your desk or table".

Too late, all the devices have been made with the holders the wrong shape.

So best to make batteries that fit the billions of holders waiting for a battery to be inserted, which as I said is why they donl;t make square AAs have you got it yet ?

That doesn't explain the original choice of shape.

I assume it was effcincy or materials and construction but why does that matter the reason they dontl make square ones is that no one would buy them until someone releases a producy that takes them, but I doubt that'll until someone starts making square AAs.


See if a company makes a square AA they are unlikey to sell any becausxe there's nothing around needing a square AA apart from you.
So what is this product you have that takes a square AA, maybe cyclindrical batteries get lost in yuor arse, and you think sqaure batteries might stay in place longer is that it, perhaps the copper coloured top is actually brown in your world

Already told you , it's because they roll off the desk, and cannot be stacked.


But few seem to care about batteries rolling off of tables, maybe it's not very traumatic for most people and they learn to deal with it.
Perhaps making batteries square had issues of corners catching on things.
Could be that they were worried that peole would have more options to insert them the wrong way around.

I wonder why they don't make PP3s 'round'

they have ?

Obviously they should have been designed square in the first place.

Obviously you were discharged from the loony bin much too early, Birdbrain!

Ok, if HP7s had been made square in the first place, the problem

The HP7 is a successor to the old Penlight battery. Penlight torches
would be uncomfortable to hold if square section.

I wonder why they don't make PP3s 'round'

Because they were originally designed to work pocket transistor radios
and can fit neatly inside without wasting space. Also the casing isn't
structural and so there are no strength or material economy considerations.
