Battery Test Update

This result from " Original Battery Test Post dated Jan. 24-2019 "

December 18, 2018 4:15pm
Loaded a pair of LED candles with new alkaline AA batteries.
One candle with Energizer AA, Dated 12-2026 Made in USA, purchased
through Groupon (worked out to 51 cents each plus tax.)
One with Dick Smith AA, Dated 07-2020G Made in China, from Princess
Auto (on sale $6.49 for a package of 40, works out to less than 16
cents each plus tax.)
Will leave them on continuously and see which dies first.

Feb. 16, 2019 11:00pm
Both candles just barely flickering when I went to bed.

Feb. 17, 2019 7:30am
Both candles were out. 60 days @ 24 hrs./day + ~8 hrs. = 1448 hours

For all intents and purposes, 32 cents worth of Chinese Dick Smith
batteries provided the same amount of energy as $1.02 worth of
Energizer batteries.

In an LED candle yes, but now test a Digital SLR, or a set of FRS/FMRS Radios.

The test's purposes amounts to a test between a grade 5 kid and a person with a Master Degree in Engineering to see which one can color between the lines.

There is little to no possibility of failure on the part of either subject.

With an answer like that , it really makes me wonder about your capabilities.

Why do you find it necessary to slander a person you do not know?

F Y I . The man is retired from the navy, Electronics Branch
After navy went to University , Graduated with an Engineering Degree in Electronics
Was employed as an Engineer- Electronics now totally retired
He did this test to satisfy his own curiosity and for his own reasons , non other, other than to test how long the batteries would last in THAT application.
Now as you sit there with your move open and foot in it , take a big bite, some of your remarks can get you into serious trouble !

I have no doubt you can walk and chew bubble at the same time, but your excitement over the test results are out of proportion.
It's understandable that for an led candle a cheap low draw battery works just fine.

Serious Trouble? You going to give me the hairy eyeball? It is not the test I find funny, it is your reaction.

Draw me a " Wien Bridge Oscillator ", a "Crystal Oscillator, a "Hartley Oscillator ", a "Colpitts Oscillator ", and a "Phase-shift Oscillator".

It is because you are slandering a friend of mine who I have known for 50 years.
Perhaps you think some of your comments are funny, but they are the exact opposite.
It is best to keep ones comments to ones self in many cases.
You seem to have a very serious and large chip on your shoulder.

Seems more like your hiding behind this un-named friend that may or may not exist.

Ask you friend if he can repeat the test, but with three candles, each powered by a cheap battery, an expensive battery, and a home made battery made from a hand full of pennies.
I am sure your friend will more trouble finding the pennies, then building the battery with them.

Buddy, what is your problem? Winter weather getting you down? In a time when we as consumers wonder what is out there, I thought this battery trial was interesting. Your initial response was nothing but snide, and your further remarks have just gone downhill from there. 125 people have read this thread. If you don't like the thread, don't read it.

But I like bugging Jaycee. Not dumping on the test, not dumping on his friend.

You know currently there is a test being run by University in the states to prove the theroy that pitch( the black sticky stuff) is a Liquid and not a solid. It has been running for over a century now, so I understand experiments for the purpose of experimenting. By the way the pitch has so far produces three drops.

You could not be more wrong! Ha, Ha, Ha.

Why would I just give out names randomly over an open forum , especially to you!
Take another big bite out of your foot, you must like the taste! :)

Well burlygirl seems to not like me too.:thumbup:

I suggest the next test should be with something that draws more Milliamps, and you act like someone kicked your puppy. A suggestion that was made at the start of your original battery test thread, which you did not freak over. So why the call to arms now?

And just in case you did not understand the penny comment. I figure your "Friend" would be able to make the battery(Zinc/copper) in his sleep, but since pennies are not used in Canada they will be hard to find.

I also found the topic interesting, but I would agree with the suggestion that it could be repeated with a higher-draw device, and perhaps with different temperatures.

This animosity is like listening to my kids.
