Can someone tell me if it's safe to store batteries as shown in the article? Isn't there a chance that the terminals get shorted by the metal box? I recently saw some (more than 50) alkaline AA batteries stored in an old biscuit tin: wonder if it's a hazard in any way?
- fractalbit 6y agoIt's allright with batteries shown in the article since the connector pads should be recessed on those, but with regular AA or or other batteries with exposed leads can - and eventually will - make a short circuit, heat itself up and leak or cause a fire.
