This Two-Second Trick Will Tell You if an AA Battery is Dead or Not

Batteries are not forever. And it’s particularly annoying when it decides to die when you’re in the middle of something – like when the remote control stops functioning while you’re watching your favorite TV show or when your optical mouse goes lifeless just when you’re about to deal the final blow in that PvP.

The scenario becomes more bothersome when you’re dealing with two or more batteries and you just couldn’t tell which of those lithium rods ran out of juice. Sure, you can measure its capacity using a meter, but hey, let’s be honest – we don’t usually find that device lying around somewhere in the house, right? Plus (let’s take advantage of the candor), admit it, sometimes you’re just too lazy to stand up and walk away from that very comfy couch.

Fortunately, there is one simple trick that we can use to determine if a battery still has juice or if its just ready to be thrown away. You only need about two seconds and a flat surface to find out.

See? It’s as easy as one, two, three!
