Eneloop went thorough the washing machine

Science test to see how fast the firefighters can get there? lol :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t think NiMH can catch fire. If this were lithium-ion batteries, yeah I’d be more concerned.

Here’s a site that tested six common household materials for their ablity to dry out soaked electronics:

It should be noted that while getting water out of electronics is well and good, if corrosion has already happened, drying them out may not help. And corrosion can happen FAST, especially if the device is on when it gets wet. I’m talking within seconds of getting wet for certain components.

is the AA eneloop clean ?

It is now

After the thorough cleaning did it retain any charge?? Just curious….

Holy cow! I had no idea Coke could destroy a computer so fast! :confounded:

Wellp, a few things…

Perhaps he should look up “electrolysis” when he talks about “corrosion”.

Coke has phosphoric acid. Perhaps he should look up “naval jelly”. It’s used to clean crapped-up objects down to the base metal, dissolving nasties along the way. It also has phosphoric acid.

Also, he’s running 18V through that board, vs just dropping it in a deenergised board. Back to “electrolysis”.

Last, I’ve heard of people dropping phones, etc., into puddles, toilets, etc., but not into buckets of coke. Back to phosphoric acid (vs plain water).

It’s like he’s complaining how badly oven-mitts can get burned on a stovetop, but then turning on all the burners and dumping gasoline all over the stove. “Wow! Lookit all that damage to the mitts in just a few seconds!”

Wow!! . :open_mouth: . Very interesting video kuzuna, thanks for sharing it. :+1:
.
I’ll say it again Lightbringer, you have a great way with words!! . :+1: Your cracking me up with your analysis. An accurate analysis too I might add. :wink:

All true.

However, the video did have a point:

When people accidentally drip Coke into their computer, it probably IS powered on. And it sounds like the damage can occur in just seconds with an energized board.

/\:+1: … That too. :wink:

I just get really tired of all the disgustingly dishonest clickbait on yootoob.

It’s almost as bad as the “10 things in your kitchen that can kill you! News at 11…”. (Carving knife, meat-cleaver, skewers… uhh, yeah, and…???)

Or the “road-rage” flicks showing some very-well-endowed chick in a spraypainted-on sweater… who’s nowhere to be found in the entire vid! Wtf??

Wellp, I might accidentally drip something onto/into my keyboard, but I’d have to be actually physically climbing on the desk to drip something into my computer.

And anyone who slovenly drips cokola into a phone either has to live in a sty and drips everything everywhere, or just plain deserves the results.

I’m having a really hard time finding sympathy for either.

Hahaha yeah.

I know someone who accidentally tipped their Coke into their desktop computer years ago. He had his desktop box positioned in such a way that a spilled drink would go right in. Some poor planning there. :person_facepalming:

It died instantly. Never worked again.

Is he one of those who used the cd-drive’s tray as a cupholder?

I’m telling ya, I see people do things where I’d swear I can hear the Loony Toonz theme playing in the background…

Clean energy ?

Rice seems like a great idea .

Now what happens when you run it thru the rice cooker ?

Eneloop .... will it blend ?

A CD-Drive tray as a cupholder…… :person_facepalming: . :person_facepalming:
My, my… Loony Toonz for sure!! Kinda scary thinking they have already, or may breed one day. :smiley: . :smiley:

An update, it was at 1.3v when it got dried out. Charged up as normal, operates as normal. I guess it’s ok.

Thanks for the update Trippwire, that sounds good. :+1:
