Building a Rig to Test AAA Batteries (Live)

I’ve been working on two things lately (well, more than two, but whatever): Live streaming and testing AAA batteries.

The former is going somewhat OK, but I’m still trying to get the hang of it. The latter is coming together nicely.

This video is me assembling a rig to test 15 different brands/types of AAA batteries:

Duracell Optimum, Anker, Allmax, EBL, Fuji, Duracell Procell, Rayovac Industrial, Duracell Quantum, Rayovac Fusion, Rayovac, Eveready Gold, Energizer Max, Energizer Industrial, Maxell, and Amazon Basics.

The idea being that I’ll shoot that test rig with a time lapse camera, observing how the voltages of the batteries decrease over time. There are light bulbs both to provide a visualization and as a load to deplete the cells. More to come on that project.
