You can really see the spark of creativity with this idea

[-] Fixbeat@lemmy.ml 63 points 9 months ago

Seems a bit short sighted to me.

[-] Dagnet@lemmy.world 31 points 9 months ago

Certainly won't have any resisrance

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

I'm pretty amped about it!

I think the handle's a little short

[-] xavier666@lemm.ee 21 points 9 months ago

The maker is probably not aware of the current battery sizes

[-] SaltyIceteaMaker@iusearchlinux.fyi 12 points 9 months ago

He might be schocked by a batteries potential

We don't know. There is no banana for scale.

And warmer!

[-] sagrotan@lemmy.world 50 points 9 months ago

I once made a deadplug, I was kinda distracted and ended up with a cable with two male plugs. Hangs on my shop wall as memento for "focus on what you're doing" or something.

[-] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 28 points 9 months ago

Reminds me of this.

In short, this is a battery handle.

[-] Natanael@slrpnk.net 30 points 9 months ago

It will unleash the battery's potential

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 17 points 9 months ago
[-] Belgdore@lemm.ee 10 points 9 months ago

Perhaps, but I think we’ll see a high level of resistance.

[-] Onsotumenh@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 9 months ago

That might be a hot take.

Considering that a 12V battery has an internal resistance of 20 milliohms, the potential current through this thing would be approximately 600A.

It might be too hot to handle (pun intended)

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 6 points 9 months ago

You can also get that from just the label. The CCA rating (cold cranking amps) is the max current that specific battery can supply in short bursts. 600 CCA is pretty typical, but I've seen up to 900 in the batteries I ship.

Just remember to cut it when you dispose the battery, so that sea turtles won't get stuck in it.

[-] root_beer@midwest.social 6 points 9 months ago

Perfectly. Legal. Thrill.

It was the last thing they made

[-] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 19 points 9 months ago

With that hand, anyway.

[-] neidu2@feddit.nl 22 points 9 months ago

Say you made this, but insulated... does a car battery have enough structural strength in the terminals, though? I imagine you're left holding a handle with two terminals and half a cell stuck to each.

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 24 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I work in an auto parts warehouse:

Yeah, they'd be fine. It's surprisingly difficult to break them apart. The load would spread out to almost the full width of the battery on either end (ie the plates attached to the terminals against the underside of the lid). Some of the models I ship use plastic straps that hook onto the seam between the lid and base and you can really toss em around before they take damage. (some people are less than gentle with parts :/ but I'm not the manager so 🤷)

Some of the larger batteries with screw terminals might not survive, but the ones where these clamp style are used would be fine.

And a face full of acid, I imagine

You just gotta use long screws to firmly connect it to the battery, or else it slips off.

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 21 points 9 months ago

Took me a min to realize...

[-] JustUseMint@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago

I am a "ask me anything" Tech, ask me anything!

[-] Johanno@feddit.de 15 points 9 months ago

How long can you hold the handle once it's attached to a fully loaded battery?

Why does it smell like BBQ in here?

[-] omxxi@feddit.de 13 points 9 months ago

that's a killer gadget!

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

If it's plastic, then it's fine.

A bit of copper would spice things up
