I see this as an absolute win. Be careful, folks. Just because it’s DC doesn’t mean it won’t cause serious damage.

    Replaced the batteries?

    I’m in the process of topping up the water in mine intending to refresh them… but you’ve made me think… I need to check them for deadshorts / opencircuit

    And I thought you’d burnt a horrible groove in your finger!

      Yeah these are the small, closed cell 12v batteries. Just make sure you have the circuit open until the very last step. Additionally, if you have an array of batteries, make sure you’re paying attention to their configuration.
