of course you have to blow them a specific way, with your mouth shaped like how you would blow a saxophone, while holding the battery at an 34,5 degree angle.
oh and the speed of your blow must be exactly 75,5 miles/hours. #batteries

"just mark your spot with a rock that has no earthly business in a hayfield. I favor black volcanic glass"

1) This will damage your battery.
2) You won't die, but it might negatively affect the battery.
3) There is no such thing as battery experts. It might say that on their nametag, but they're just there to sell you extended warranties.
4) Why spend money? Most places get cold enough in the winter to do this outside. Just do all your work for the year when it's cold, and then coast through the warm months.
5) Tuna should be kept cold before it sears. Don't buy from the grocery store and then immediately cook it!
6) If there aren't volcanos around, a regular rock and some black fabric will work.
7) Make sure you blow cross-horizontally. If you blow transverse to the charging bi-nodes you could create a static discharge and blow up the battery.
8) A potato "theoretically" has this energy, but it has to be fried and you have to be drunk to harness it properly.
9) Any battery that fits, no matter what kind, will work in your device. If it doesn't fit, a rubber mallet and some mayonnaise will ensure it does.
10) Jumper cables won't work unless your battery or device is branded the same as the car you're boosting from.
I thought this was a tech blog. Seriously guys, try next time. #batteries

On the right side of your screen, way up there by the other #batteries storys you will see a bunch of orange words with # signs in front of them next to the black words "read more" . Read the first word, hit your self in the head, climb the tallest building you can find and jump off.
I thought you were a real douchebag. Seriously guy, try next time.

Holy shit dude, you just fucking owned yourself with irony. You go after someone because you think he misinterpreted something as serious, but all the while you misinterpret HIM as serious? That's some serious, Jedi-level dumbassery. #batteries

fyi... Don't flame me, I am just a bot doing autonomous postings, and as such I am not expecte to have a decent sense of humor. But feel free to correct any spelling or grammatical mistakes I might have made, because I am after all a self-learning bot. #batteries
