[Boatanchors] 9V batteries

[Bill Cromwell]

I have a stack of 20 of those in series that are snapped together from 
one to the next to give a ~180 volt B+ stack for some of my experimental 
bench projects. The two output terminals are at opposite ends of the 
stack. They are placed on a high shelf where I can barely see them and 
way out of reach of children and guests. There is a fuse. It's intended 
to operate a single, low power receiving tube (will operate an ARC-5 
nicely) so the fuse is *small*.

Yes..any battery or cell has the potential to kill (pun intended).
