Happy National Crab Stuffed
Flounder Day, errr…National Battery Day! Okay, so it is technically also National Crab Stuffed
Flounder Day, but who is really interested in that?!
Batteries are “device consisting of one or more electrochemical cells that convert
stored chemical energy into electrical energy.” An individual named Alessandro
Volta invented the first battery in 1800. There are two categories of
batteries:
1. Primary, or disposable batteries, which have a one time use deal
2. Secondary, or rechargeable batteries, can be recharged and used many
times.
Batteries are used for many household items,
including the TV remote/flicker/channel changer/converter/additional limb of a
male. The can range in size from super, duper tiny such as for hearing aids and
watches, to gi-mungo (a made up word meaning gigantic, huge, etc.) with uses
like cars to computer data systems. They can be quite dangerous if disposed of
improperly, so be careful how you do this! Also, when your brother and his
friends dare you to lick the end of a high volt battery, even though you think
it may make you appear to be cool in their eyes, don’t do it! It’s a trap! Not
that something like that has ever happened to me…Happy Birthday, Mike!
