Scary Battery Photos, Just in Time for Halloween

October 28, 2009

I’ve just started to write a blog for AgigA Tech, a maker of non-volatile memory subsystems for embedded systems and servers. Today, I posted a fun blog entry with a bunch of photos of leaking batteries destroying the equipment in which they’re installed. Seemed like a good Halloween treat, and a reminder to check your batteries and your assumptions about them. You’ll find the post here. My good friend and AgigA Tech CEO Ron Sartore calls the photos absolutely “Joule-ish.” Funny, they don’t look Joulish to me.

Golly---I thought you might show some exploded and burning Li-ion ones at least. Problem with those is, there aren't usually enough inveterate shutterbugs around when these go off.
