    Some fun facts about alkaline batteries:

    1. They are technically rechargeable. Not very often and their capacity deteriorates quickly, but there are specialized alkaline chargers that allow you to recharge them a couple of times.
    2. You can tell whether they’re full or empty if you drop them on a hard surface. Empty ones will bounce slightly and make a “brrrt” sound, while full ones will stop immediately and make more of a “tock” sound.

        You’re only supposed to drop it from an inch or so. Just enough so you can tell whether it bounces or not.

      Everyone knows rayovac only exists to pull votes away from Energizer. You’re pretty much just supporting Duracell.

      dollar store crud is better than actual rayovac-branded batteries.
