Put it on a wooden shelf and let it sit. You certainly won't regret it.

This is the aftermath of a spicy car battery that was used as backup power for some emergency lights in a community center. Blew up in the early morning, burned the plastering from the wall and covered the whole basement in smoke and soot. Fortunately someone was there and heard the fire alarm, otherwise the whole building would have burned down.

Here's a tip Big Battery doesn't want you to know: A cell can recharge itself by recovering the charges from the opposite terminal. Simply connect the two terminals together and wait 10-30 minutes

People really shouldn't be normalising battery obesity, smh.

It's not cute. Obesity really impacts their quality of life, and shortens their lifespan. It's tragic, not cute, when they don't fit into their caddies any more.

This is NOT cute. Batteries only do this when they are in distress.

(Sorry if I got the wording wrong, I couldn't find the copypasta.)

Met a friend of a friend some months ago who customised electrical vehicles of all kinds, a battery like this blew up while he and his best friend were close to it. His friend died and he got burned real bad, the left side of his body is badly scarred and he lost fingers, hearing, most of his vision and other stuff on that side.
We sat and talked for most of the night and after that I have a whole new "respect" for batteries. My mom uses an e-bike daily and I've made real sure she is aware of the possible danger. She used to store and charge the battery close to the door of her apartment, now it's in a battery safety bag in one of the closets where it wouldn't be in the way of getting out if something happens.
Fucking scary stuff.

Just return it to the ocean so it can spawn a new pod of AAAs.

Is that a lead acid battery?

How the fuck do you do that to a lead acid battery?

Should prob water it.

You just don't want to be too close when it sheds. They can be a bit testy for a while.

Man, if I saw that I wouldn't be taking a picture, I'd be calling the bomb squad while driving for the next county.

Need some red necks with some land. Then shoot that puppy with something big.

Also have a hog carcass nearby and film it.

Real life Crash Bandicoot TNT crate

Lance that thing to relieve the pressure!

Must be the "DCS" spec

I have a bloated power bank sitting on my balcony (concrete) right now. Lowkey scared of transporting it for disposal.

Such a big spicy pillow

It does, in a manner of speaking, shed.

That's a spicy battery
