Pencil Battery Short Circuited in Child's Mouth
Okay... do you know what can happen if you short-circuit a pencil battery while holding it in your mouth? A 10-year-old boy from India found this out the hard way. The battery can EXPLODE and pretty much destroy your mouth and face. This unfortunate kid tried to short-circuit three low-voltage batteries with a wire while holding them in his mouth. He was twisting the wire with his teeth when one of the batteries exploded. The gory result can be seen below. Pretty much the entire lower half of the face is gone, leaving a gaping bloody ruin. So... please, folks, don't fool around with batteries, recharge them, toss them in a fire or let your kids play with them. The familiar warning that an improperly handled battery "may explode or leak" is not to be taken lightly!  ·  ·  ·  ·  · |

Re: Pencil Battery Short Circuited in Child's Mouth
seem to recall this in DR before but it was not told as related to a dry cell battery explosion. I cant remember what was it about then though.

Re: Pencil Battery Short Circuited in Child's Mouth
