Bad habit with batteries!

[Scott Gilligan, CMI]

Lately I have gotten into a real bad habit of putting my extra camera batteries in my pocket so that they are handy while I am doing an inspection. I learned that if you have a bunch of change in your pocket as well, that it often forms a curcuit in your pocket. It's amazing how hot a pair of AA batteries can get in your pocket! I have a nice little burn on my upper thigh now, but I learned my lesson. Time to modify my camera strap to hold batteries.

I keep them in the package they come in...I actually had them get hot on me in the car. Similar circumstances. The possibilities are kind of scary.

I don't put change in my pockets.

Keys will do it too Been there done that.

I've had the same problem Wayne at one time. Talk about a burning sensation.

Maybe we need to find one of these.

I've had the same issue in the past. It is surprising what will happen. My fix was to get a better camera that didn't require the battery to get charged as frequently.

Try a can of pepper spray going off in your pocket, That will smart. Back in my biking days, I used to carry a can in case I got chased by dogs. Thing went off and I had a red stain, and a ...... irritation for a few days.

I use small plastic zip lock bags. The one pictured is a 'Pill Bag' that you can get at the drug store.

Wow, does that bring back memories. I burnt my leg doing the same thing years ago.

I will never place batteries in my pocket again.

Bet Jim thinks the world is flat too because he can't see it for himself. He sound's like a real ( * )hole to me.
