21 COOL BATTERY LIFE HACKS

How to squeeze the maximum out of the battery?

There is an incredible number of ways to use batteries with benefit, including not for their intended purpose. Battery can be a heater for hands, cigarette lighter, electromagnet, stylus.

Do you know how to replace a lighter with a regular battery? Take a strip of foil. You can even use cigarette foil. Attach its ends to the battery poles. Take a cotton wool, napkin or small sawdust - for example, from a sharpened pencil - and bring it to the foil. Look, caught fire!

By the way, do you know how to check if this battery is new or old? Just drop it on the table. The charged battery will stand, the discharged battery will fall on its side.

You can make a real burner out of a battery and two needles for a syringe! You can burn them various inscriptions. For example, a love note for some girl :)

Look also at some tricks with batteries and copper wire. You can turn a wire into a magnet. Such tricks can be shown to a child, younger brother or nephew. They will love it.

I will also teach you how to charge the phone with a battery. Here is the first way. You need a battery, a key, car charger, and a stationery or scotch tape. See what to do with it. Here is also the second way to make portable charger for just 5 bucks. You need a battery, car charger and wiring.

I will teach you how to make an organizer for batteries. You don't even have to sew or glue. You need a wide elastic band and a stapler. And check out, how to use the battery instead of the stylus. A very useful thing in the winter when you are wearing gloves!

You will see how to make a keychain-case for a charging cable with your own hands. This accessory will really like girls - they can decorate their bags with it. I will also show you how to bridle the cable so that it doesn’t fray. You need only a hair dryer, heat-shrink tubing and wool thread. Have you ever knitted? Now you can try, it's easy.

How to charge the phone without electricity. How to make fire without matches and lighters. How to determine the used battery. How to warm a frozen battery. How to replace the missing battery with a foil or paper clip. All these tricks will also be useful on a hike or on a trip.

Two minutes later the house starts burning
Firemen: how the heck did you start your house on fire?

Bruh Who has copper wire just lying around

I just genuinely want to know:

In what fucking scenario would I be stuck with a battery, some tissues, and a ball of steel wool, but no lighter?

Please note that the voltage given out by the battery in the hack at 1:04 can only be within a very narrow range if you are trying to light up a series of LEDs without a resistor in series with them! You'll most likely blow out the LEDs if you link them as shown right up to the battery, or they won't light at all. I suggest inserting a 470 Ohm or 1 KOhm resistor in series with the LEDs (i.e., intertwine one leg of the resistor with one of the unused legs of the diode chain, and use the other end of the resistor to make contact with the battery).

this is so cool! I’ve gotta try some of these. thank you!

Cant find your charger for phone? Why did I see a charger already when you lost your charger?

0:43 when your to lazy to pick stuff up but not to lazy to create your own magnet

@1:20 placing 3 LEDs across a 9v battery might draw too much current....might want to put a ballast resistor in series to limit the current. (Maybe look up the forward voltage drops...Red & orange LED is around 1.8 V each and green LED is maybe a little higher like 2.something volts. BUT that adds up to less than 9 V. So those leds will be overdriven...and possibly burn out...and you might suck up unnecessarily large amount of current from battery.

Not sure if that battery falling tip rly works but I have a better one, full battery is heavier than empty one, I learned it and now just by comparing 2 batteries I can say which one is empty and which isn't

5 min crafts: *shows 4 different hacks on starting a fire using a battery and foil*

Also 5 min crafts: *wraps battery in foil and puts in pocket*

Me: 🤔

[Dawid_The_Man]

5:50 so thats how to not waste batteries hahahahahahaha NICE one!

[taka]

1:05 You will fry your LEDs if you attach them to the battery without using a resistor.

[Recon-WallBanger]

As soon as I heard the music I knew it was going to be crappy.










Cave Johnson would be proud if you somehow manage to burn YOUR house down with a lemon battery life hack.

For the 5 dollar charger where did you get the USB adapter. Because I bought 2 and neither looked like that on the inside. Please reply

[danoo]

This is how many people nearly died doing these life hacks

Never throw a 9 volt battery in a junk drawer with steel wool in it. FIRE HAZARD!!!

[mythics]

To my surprise the one where you put the paper clip in your remote actually works. Thanks!

[ITS_SAMUEL]

3:51 in the top right corner of the phone says that it’s not charging

[ITS_SAMUEL]

5:23 no thanks you did that already and it set stuff on fire

[cutekitty]

Me: You made a FIRE WITH BATTERIES

You: Yeah?

Me: HOW COULD YOU YOU DONT HAVE
