content: Amarbir, one thing that I find annoying about how you write, is that place a space BEFORE punctuation (comma, period) and not after it.Wrong :India has so many states and each state has its own lauguage and food culture ,I am from north side state is punjab and we have nothing of this stuff .Our food is very differentRight: India has so many states and each state has its own lauguage and food culture, I am from north side state is punjab and we have nothing of this stuff. Our food is very different.And I think the curry thing was just a joke.

content: Quote from: Amarbir[Lynx-India] on September 17, 2012, 07:55:15 amYeah I used to associate curry with the Indian cuisine too but it looks like it is more about "masala", right? I prefer masala actually;) It looks like Thai people use curry.

content: Metal-cased LiIon cells aren't like soft-packaged LiPos; they're pretty sturdy and don't catch fire unless subjected to massive physical trauma. I'm about to add a protective sheet of plastic on them, though.

content: Lithium Chloride is a very potent mood stabiliser, but the dose difference between chill and slab-o-meat-in-morgue is rather small, and the side effects are rather nasty.As well the metal in a battery is not the chloride, but an organometallic compound, with a organic solvent. That will definitely not be a good thing to ingest.

content: I did the same with a clock with chime, that I bought from Maplin in around 1985 ( bought 5 so i would have spares, and they were a end of range item) using some primary lithium cells with added 1000uF capacitor to drive the chime side. Clock 1.5V cell lasts around 5 years, and the lithium for the chime now should do 10 years. Got tired of changing chime batteries every 2 years ( cheap ones as odd size for me- d cells) when it sounded drawn out.

content: I had a problem earlier this year (My big clock's D cell been going for 5 years without a battery change)It had constantly been going off by 15mins every few months(after tweaking the time again) so i decided to check the batteries, well it was nearly fresh oddly so i placed the cell back and it's never off anymore! (Sorcery?)

content: Changing those involded a screwdriver and soldering them in, as the cell holders were broken......... Only way to change them would have meant a new clock. Mom is very attached to the clock.An insulating film does tend to build up on battery contacts, especially for low loads, or if the cells have ever leaked.
