How's your hearing ?
 

What a prize bafoon you turn out to be!



Gee, with poor spelling skills like yours, you shouldn't be calling
people names. Only a buffon would spell it bafoon. Maybe the oddball
nine volt battery in your head is dead?

According to Google:

Results 1 - 10 of about 7,200,000 for buffon

Did you mean: buffon for bafoon



Um, that would be buffuon.

WTF?!?!?!?


It's "BUFFOON".

Jesus H Mother****ing Christ! Have we nothing more productive
to discuss?!

I thought we were talking about hearing, bone conduction, and then
batteries.

This isn't (WASN'T) a dick-waving thread about how incorrectly people can
contrive to spell "buffoon" and pretend that they're right.

Can we move on now?

Someone else described the innards of a PP3 battery as a
"stack of lozenges". This is a perfect description of what
I found, the only time I bothered looking inside one; I
have no idea when that was, but I imagine quite a number of
years ago; maybe when I was a teenager.

I would imagine that that arrangement would fill the internal
space better than 6 cylindrical cells; I wonder what effect
that latter arrangement would have on capacity. It seems
silly to me.

Why make a cylindrical AAAA to put inside a PP3?

Or do they also put 1xAAAA in AAA, and AA batteries too?!

(I have read not that long ago about C cells being found
inside nominal "D cells"! Cheeky ****ers! Can't remember
what manufacturer that was, though.)


This was quite common for NiCds, GE's in particular. You really
have to look at the AH rating of the batteries (or perhaps weight)
to know what's inside. AAMOF, AH is the only thing that matters.

I've opened numerous ones too and they all contained 'layered' flat cells.
