A Tip For Preserving Spare Batteries...

[Swartzie]

I always carry a spare 9volt battery with me for my pinpointer. I keep it in a baggie in my bucket of stuff that I take out with me. Just a couple weeks ago my pinpointer signaled the battery was low. So, I grab my spare and wouldn't you know it. The terminals have rusted up. The battery wouldn't work and I had just started my hunt. Crap! I did manage to pick off enough corrosion with my fingernail. Just enough to get me by. But, from now on I wrap spare battery terminals in electrical tape to prevent moisture from getting on them.

I only use the copper tops. They last for years on standby duty ready to run. Never had one corrode. Frank
