Yep. When I was little, I'd lick anything.
Hmmm. That sentence turned out weird...
by Larry on June 7th, 2008
You can tell the state of charge on a 9V battery by touching both poles across your tongue. If it tingles, the battery still has life. If not, throw it away.
by ChelseaMark on April 29th, 2007
Yeah beat one easily in a hundred yard dash , he was well licked !!!
by Chary. on June 9th, 2008
I have now...
Damn curiousity!
by Tom 47 is back in his bear COAT on December 14th, 2007
No. And I never touched my tongue to a frozen ice tray, either. I had seen others do it. I was the youngest of five. I learned by observation.
by northface on April 29th, 2007
Of course. Is there an 8 year old who hasn't?
by Woodii on August 9th, 2008
I do it all the time to check the charge.
by Joe_Kool on January 19th, 2008
Yes. I've been battery licking in the absence of a digital voltmeter for years and can tell the voltage within 0.5V.
by Conformist on January 12th, 2008
Yes. I was expecting some sort of electric flow or a shock. Nothing happened. I'm going to try different brands.
by Redrum is tired on April 29th, 2007
Yes. It felt fizzy and kind of good. Didn't everyone lick one when they were little?
by ChandaDiane - est. 1975 on March 17th, 2009
Licked? no.
Placed it on my tongue for a shock? yes.
by Zeroxil on March 8th, 2009
yes i have (im 17) i also check the charge of Ds Cs AAs and AAAs by placing my tongue on the positive end and touching the negative end to my upper lip! works quite well! yes i do own a voltmeter, only use it for testing live AC outlets ( i don't feel all that prone to lick a 120v wire! much less a 220v!!!!!)
by znicker on January 19th, 2009
YES! And i licked my laptop charger once. It hurt REALLY bad!
by R.I.P. ANSWERBAG on January 13th, 2009
yes but you should also try putting one in your pocket with a load of coins. things really hot up then!
by Squirrel Face on October 17th, 2008
Yeah. I was curious.
by Travis on September 13th, 2008
Yeah I have, but have you ever took apart a 9-volt battery? Seriously try it.
(It has 4 AAAA batterys in it by the way, totally safe to do)
by Vannie prays for babycakes . on June 9th, 2008
Nope ...never licked one :):):) !
by what on June 3rd, 2008
Yes I have,it's kind of fun.
by King of all squirrels in Squirreltown on June 3rd, 2008
3 people a year die in the UK from this every year, i have done it many times but have yet to die.
by The Infamous Johnny on June 3rd, 2008
yeth i have =D
by Peregrine on May 9th, 2008
Yes, I became supercharged.
by Alex P. Keaton on May 9th, 2008
I have never even heard of this as an 8-year old's curiosity or as a way of testing batteries. I never have tried that. I have certainly learned something, though I still won't be licking batteries anytime soon.
by homersimpson on May 9th, 2008
AAAAAWWWW YEEEAAAAAHHH!!!!
by LotusTC on April 3rd, 2008
Yes! That's how I test them. No taste = dead, acidic (like a lemon) = weak, strongly tingly = good.
Works great, never hurt.
by Playin4you on March 29th, 2008
No, I ask my kids to do it for me.
by TXrules Jetpacking Ninja Pirate Wannabe on March 28th, 2008
Yes on a dare. I touched an electric on a dare. But I didn't do the dare to pee on the electric fence. Even fools have limits. :)
by Froggy on March 28th, 2008
When i was a kid my brothers and i used to collect frogs and put them all in a bucket. After awhile the frogs started to have sex, but we were dumb and thought they were fighting. We couldn't pull them apart without hurting them, so i got an idea with a 9v. battery. Just put each frog foot on each battery terminal and they instantly separated. After we let them go, a couple days later the pond was full of frog eggs. We finally figured it out.

about 100 people a year are killed because the current passes up through the fluids in your head and shorts your brain. Seriously, don't do it.
by killdrphil on January 19th, 2008
Yeah. Those were good times.
by Bolton living on January 6th, 2008
i have never personally done it but i have got a few stupid others to do it in the past
by Anonymous on January 6th, 2008
ummm no never crossed my mind to do something that stupid
by browny23 on January 6th, 2008
Erm yes once when I was young (and stupid) but the new question should be, have you ever licked a 12v car battery? If so you are even more stupid.
by proudtobedifferent on December 30th, 2007
Sadly yeah damn it hurts..
by Ruby Doomsday on December 13th, 2007
Just licked a nice fresh one a couple of days ago!
by koldkanuck on December 13th, 2007
Have you ever licked a nine inch...
nail
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on June 20th, 2007
Yes, I didn't experience any shock. I was disappointed.
by Owner of the GD Universe on April 29th, 2007
Try it, It tastes like caviar. :)
+4 for your curiosity!
by Yourself on November 16th, 2009
its a good way to find relatively how much charge is in it
by Zacky on June 30th, 2009
When I was a kid I did. Not so much now.
by IDK on June 30th, 2009
no but once i accidentaly connected the postive and the negative side of a 12 volt battary and sparks came out.....(for those who dont know that is bad!!very bad)
by arsinlop on June 25th, 2009
sure ..... it's magical to feel the electricity .. good taste
by Tinjon is Rollerz Only on June 14th, 2009
No,I have no reason to lick a 9 volt battery...
If I need to test the battery then I will use a battery tester Instead!!
by Andrew on June 14th, 2009
yes... tingly!!
by GREMLIN on June 14th, 2009
Yeah;Kool ain't it??
by Eddie O. on June 14th, 2009

by Jester on May 28th, 2009
yha. that quick jolt of energy really wakes you up in the morning. you should try it
by scububbles on May 21st, 2009

I purchased a security camera CCTV, it came with two 12 volt adapters the instructions say the camea lens should be a 9 volt adapter, the camera is warm to the touch. Is this normal are 12volt and 9volt adapters the same or are they trying to dupe me?
