[Boatanchors] Fw: Fwd: 9 Volt Battery Warning

[WA5CAB--- via Boatanchors]

The final statement in the video (that only 9-volt batteries can start or 
cause fires) isn't correct, however.  6-volt spring terminal and 6 and 
12-volt lantern batteries would do as well or better.  Very few of the great 
unwashed are likely to have anything with higher voltage but those would 
certainly do it.  But only a Darwin Award contestant would dump loose batteries of 
any voltage in a paper bag.
