D-Cell Corrosion: Prepare for Liftoff!

Corroded Alkaline C Cells
Corroded Alkaline C Cells

Surprisingly, the flashlight holding these cells wasn’t damaged.

Judging from the position of the switch, my mother tried to turn the thing on, it didn’t light up, and she just dumped it back in the drawer. Time passed, corrosion never sleeps, and the weak link (fortunately, between the two cells) let the alkaline nastiness out.

I gotta collect all these pix in one big pile…

(These are not the D-cells from the Maglite adventure.)

    I think those are G cells. As in “Gee, I think these are bad.”
