What happens when you lick a battery?
Depends on what kind of battery you lick. If you lick a D, C, AA or AAA battery, nothing will happen because your tongue won't touch both positive and negative terminals. However, if you lick a 4.5-Volt or a 9-Volt battery so that your tongue touches both positive and negative terminals, you'll feel a slight unpleasant harmless shock.
Why does a 9 Volt battery shock your tongue but no other battery does?
You can easily touch both the positive and negative terminals of a 9V battery to your tongue. This is much harder to do with other batteries.
Can you touch a car battery with a wrench?
only if it's off The plastic body of the battery, or one of the terminals, yes, BUT... disconnected from the vehicle or not, DO NOT allow any metallic object to touch BOTH of the battery's terminals [Positive and Negative] AT THE SAME TIME. This is because that touching both terminals at the same time with any conducting metal such as a wrench will create a SHORT CIRCUIT, and COULD cause the battery to explode, throwing shrapnel and battery acid everywhere for several feet around the shorted battery.
How do you Reset service lamp?
The easiest way to reset a service lamp on any vehicle is to disconnect both battery terminals first. Run a wire across both battery terminals and leave attached for at least a couple of hours. Detach the wire and reconnect the battery terminals. Your service light should now be out. Make sure that you do not run the wire across the positive and negative terminals of the battery. Make sure you disconnect both terminals and run the wire across the cables and not the actual battery terminals. If your service engine light is on it means your computer is registering a code. Make sure you take your car to have it diagnosed properly instead of resetting the light. It may be a serious code that could cause problems in the future.
What happens when you stick two 9 volt batteries together?
If you connect positive to positive and negative to negative you will have a 9V battery with twice the current capacity in milliampere hrs than a single batteries. The load then goes between positive and negative paralleled terminals. If you connect one negative of one battery to one positive of the other battery and put the load between the remaining negative and positive terminals you have created an 18 V battery with the same milliampere hr rating as a single battery. If you connect one negative to positive of other battery and the negative of that battery to the positive of the first battery then both batteries with quickly drain and get hot in the process. Contrary to folklore or urban lefends, they do not explode.
How do you wire a dual voice coil 2 ohm sub at 2 ohms?

How do you reset the computer on 2002 Chevy Trailblazer?
disconnect both terminals from the battery, then touch the terminals together, not connected to the battery, voila! you're done.
When a battery has two positive and two negative terminals is it ok to connect one battery to a second battery using the second terminal?
the two terminals both conect to the electrode of the battery,so, you can conect two batteries with the two "terminals" for parallel circuit or series circuit. Rocky_B - Yes you can do this to give yourself some extra amps, but connect the negative to the negative of the other battery and the positive to the positive of the other battery - This is what previous poster meant by parallel. Warning: If this is for an automobile electrical system, you do not want to connect it in series; i.e. Positive to solenoid, negative to positive of other battery, negative of other battery to ground, as it would be supplying over 24volts to a 12volt system and may seriously mess up your electrical system or cause wire insulation to heat up, melt, and cause fires.
What will happen if one battery terminal is connected to a terminal?
Nothing. An auto battery system is 12V DC. If both terminals aren't in the loop (positive through the current path and back to negative) nothing happens.
Should you connect both ends of a battery in a circuit?
it is necessary to connect both the terminals of a battery to a circuit for current to flow through it..!!
Where are the battery terminals on a 2004 touareg?
Under the bonnet, r/h side near firewall,. The positive is covered by a red plastic cover. Both are substantial terminal posts.
What would happen if you connected a positive cable to both terminals?
