How to reclaim your dead nicads!

All of us have probably heard of this, but its just to funny to pass up again. Of course, you should never try this yourself unless you dont mind a battery exploding in your face. Also, if youre to immature to stand some intermittent adult language in the vid, please leave this thread and block the entire internet from your computer and go cry to your mommy while cowering under your bed. :bigsmile:

If you liked this one, there’s many others just as funny.

he blowed up real good

Back in my R/C days when my 7.2v nicad pack would stop holding a charge I'd connect it directly to my car battery for a minute until the wires to the pack threatened to melt then I'd pull it off. Good to go!

So that’s what Dave lee Roth is up to now! :bigsmile:

If you are over 10 years old it might be difficult. The connections between brain cells are not so easily modified after 10.

In a mall food court once I saw a bunch of Japanese school kids who were visiting the US and asked them if they were Japanese school kids on a field trip.
In perfect English she said, “Slowly.”

So. . .s-l-o-w-l-y d-i-d I s-a-y e-a-c-h w-o-r-d along with some sign language. :smiley: I guess she understood.
