12 volt battery 04 by Publication Critique
Published Date: 11/06/08
Have you ever seen 12 volt batteris? They are absolutely huge. I am serious, a 12 volt battery is about the size of a small toaster oven. Okay, maybe I exagerate a little bit, but even still, who came up with the battery sizes anyway. Doesn't it strike you as a little weird the batteries that have caught on ? I know that it is weird to me. Aside from the giant 12 volt battery, there is, of course, the double a. This is not much bigger than the triple a battery, but for some reason, both of them exist for small electronic devices. There is, interestingly, no ?A? battery, or even a ?B?, but there is suddenly a C cell and a D. Why is this, and why are they so close in size, but so much bigger then the AA and AAA batteries? And of course, there is that oddball, the 9 volt, sitting all by itself, without even a letter to designate it. And the very next thing that they have? For some odd reason, it is the 12 volt battery. I swear, why have a 12 volt battery, a mammoth, much larger than all of the others, and then have nothing at all all the way down to the D?
And here is another thing that does not make sense. People have had the ability to charge their batteries for decades, and yet no one does it at all? I have a 12 volt battery charger, as well as chargers for all of my other batteries, but I feel like I am the only one. And why? It was not all of that big an investment to get a 12 volt battery, a 9 volt battery charger, and chargers for everything else, and yet no one does it. It saves money and the environment, but it seems like almost no one really cares about either of these things. I swear, people are simply irrational with the choices that they make some times. I hesitate to say that, but that is really the only thing to say about it. If you have a 12 volt battery flashlight, do you really want to have to buy a whole new battery every time that you use it up? It does not make any sense, and that is that, as far as I am concerned. But there is no telling with people.
