I had quite a few dead alkaline batteries in my garage and a box of new ones too.
I tried this with about 30 batteries. 10 dead ones and 20 new ones. It worked every time. :thumbsup:
You only drop them about an inch onto a hard surface. All the new ones just had a thud though they may fall over.
The dead ones would all bounce a few times.

I did not have any non-alkaline batteries to see if it worked with them. I do have some good and some bad Dewalt batteries but I didn't know what side to drop them on. :confused2:

Considering differing surfaces and physical differences in batteries, I think this test is extremely subjective. I'll stick with the voltmeter or battery tester. They've never let me down. Knowing exactly what the voltage of the battery is will tell you that it's good and give you an idea of how long it will last. Counting bounces is like asking a woman her weight. It won't get you the right answer and you'll suffer for it later.:D

I put the batteries in a device, if it works, they are good! If not, I throw those away and try different ones! :laughing:

And jinman, how do you fit a woman's weight, into a discussion on batteries? :laughing: :confused2:
