AG13/LR44/SR44/SR44SW/357 button/coin cell batteries are very popular batteries, commonly found in wrist watches, small flashlights, calculators, some remote control devices, thermometers, laser pointers, and other small electronic units.
According to the IEC standard, this battery should be called LR1154 (alkaline) or SR1154 (silver-oxide). Sometimes shorter, two-digit code is used: LR44 for alkaline and SR44 (or SR44SW) for silver-oxide batteries.
Many manufacturers use their own names for these batteries, but they also tend to add IEC and other standard codes, including short descriptions of the chemistry and other important features.
The Playa Crawler: A Kinetic Walking Chair for Burning Man
In 2017, engineer Mark Ellis designed an innovative kinetic chair called The Playa Crawler to navigate the vast expanse of Burning Man. Inspired by the Strandbeest sculptures of Dutch artist Theo Jansen, this unique chair is specifically crafted to withstand the alkaline terrain of the Black Rock Desert.
Mark Ellis wanted a personal vehicle that was both functional and original for getting around Burning Man. This led him to create a chair that walks using a system of articulated legs. This mechanism, invented by Theo Jansen, allows the chair to move similarly to Jansen's giant sculptures, which are propelled by the wind along the beaches.
Built from laser-cut aluminum and steel, The Playa Crawler is equipped with two electric wheelchair motors, batteries, and is controlled via a wheelchair joystick.
The released corrosive potassium hydroxide, which can also emerge from seams around the battery, forms a feathery crystalline structure on the outside of the battery (figure 12.23).

excellent example of my brain is how I was staring at our battery display at work last week and noticed that we sold alkaline batteries. this threw me for a major fucking loop because I read dr stone where they make batteries out of sulfuric acid and I don't know SHIT about batteries but I do know alkaline is the opposite of acidic so I'm just sitting there, tired and search engineless because I'm at work, losing my mind

Be me out working on my truck shirtless when some little girl walks up to me from the footpath and asks me if she can ask me a question. Her dad is close on her heels trying to call her back like I'm a rabid dog, but he's also apologising profusely.
I look at her, put down my battery cables, and tell her she just asked me a question, but to hit me with another.
She finds this funny and then she asks what my top surgery scars are from. She seems a bit embarassed by it and like she obviously doesn't want to offend me.
Ohfuck.jpeg
I look at her. Look at dad. Look at her. Look at dad. Look at her. Uhh. Dad. Her. Uhhhh. Dad. Uhhhh. Her.
"Well, I've got a bad heart, so the doctors took my heart out and turn it backwards, and now it works right. But they had to go through my chest obviously, so that's how they did it."
Her eyes go big the moment I start talking. I think the accent surprised her. But instead of commenting on that she let me finish and then went, "THEY TOOK YOUR HEART OUT?!"
"They took my heart out! And now it ticks funny, but at least it ticks, ay."
She looks back over her shoulder. "DAD THEY TOOK HIS HEART OUT."
And dad goes "Wow that's crazy I am so sorry about her ok let's go home-"
But little girl goes "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Referring to me and my battery cables.
And I go "Well, see, cars get old, and batteries get old, so you get alkaline on the batteries. That's all this white stuff."
"Oh I've seen that on batteries before!"
"Yeah, so, the way to get that stuff off is to get some baking soda and some water, and it just eats away at it, like—well, you wanna try? Can she try, dad?"
"I WANNA TRY"
So dad gives her the ok and I tell her to put her foot up on the bumper cuz it's a bit high for her yet, and she climbs on up. And I give her the box of baking soda and go "Just sprinkle some on" and yeah she put on a bit too much but who cares. Then I give her the water bottle "Just spray it" and she gives it a spritz and FWOOSH the baking soda starts eating the alkaline right off the battery.
So I give her my toothbrush and tell her that now she's gotta scrub it, but she's gotta scrub slow cuz if she's too fast she'll flick alkaline everywhere and it's gonna eat through her shirt and burn her. So she's careful with her brushing. And then we washed off the cable and set it back in place and then she thanked me for letting her help and off they went back home and I heard her asking her dad what alkaline even IS on the way back, and why it's in batteries.
So, y'know. Sorry dad for the slew of questions you're gonna hafta answer on the way home. But you're welcome, little girl, for giving you something to bug your dad about.
And thanks for the clean cable.

So I’m in the Goodwill and the first thing I see on the electronics shelf is this cassette player.
But this is no ordinary cassette player, since the word “capture” caught my eye; looking at the side, there’s a USB jack. It’s one of those doohickies seen on eBay that let you rip cassettes to the computer!
Okay then, we have a find! So I drag it home and start fiddling with it, and I realize why it was given to charity: the fools left the AA batteries in and they corroded.
Can this thing be saved? Let’s find out. A YouTube video gives me some instruction on how to open it up, and I do that to get the batteries out rather than trying to get them through the door. I pull out a glass brush and begin going over the terminals -- the spring on the negative one is caked in alkaline! Once that’s cleaned up enough that it’s springy and bare, I put a couple batteries in and, to my surprise, the capstan wheels start turning. (This was a surprise because there was a loose wire that fell out. I still haven’t figured out what it was supposed to be connected to.) So that’s half the battle.
I put the shell back together and pull out a USB cable, then plug it into the end and the computer makes a happy-beep. That’s when I see the plug doesn’t stay in the jack because it’s loose, so give a slight crimp to the metal of the jack with my screwdriver to make it more snug. Plugging in again... Solid! It doesn’t show in the USB devices but does appear in the Sound control panel, as it should. I put in a cassette and pressed Play.
The volume barometer in the Input field is moving around, so sound is getting in! Fiddle with some settings to make this the input device and play through the computer speakers, and I’m hearing voices!
So the cassette I found in a thrift exactly one a year ago is something someone recorded in the car when their family went to pick up someone from the airport who was just getting into town from Germany. Not terribly exciting but now I know what’s on the tape and that I can rip cassettes on my computer!
