You can really see the spark of creativity with this idea

[–] Fixbeat@lemmy.ml 63 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Seems a bit short sighted to me.

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think the handle's a little short

[–] xavier666@lemm.ee 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The maker is probably not aware of the current battery sizes

[–] SaltyIceteaMaker@iusearchlinux.fyi 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He might be schocked by a batteries potential

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

And warmer!

In short, this is a battery handle.

[–] Natanael@slrpnk.net 29 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It will unleash the battery's potential

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

[–] Onsotumenh@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 years ago

That might be a hot take.

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 27 points 2 years ago

Reminds me of this.

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)

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 2 years ago

Perfectly. Legal. Thrill.

It was the last thing they made

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

With that hand, anyway.

[–] neidu2@feddit.nl 22 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

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.

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

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 years ago

Took me a min to realize...

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 12 points 2 years ago

that's a killer gadget!

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (7 children)

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

Users are calling it a shockingly good invention.
