ddg CR425 battery. this looks like something eloy would put in jeopardy to mess around with me

what do you mean it has a long pin sticking out of one side. and why does wikipedia say it’s a coin cell???

CR11108 is the coin cell she tells you not to worry about

lots to learn… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_battery_sizes

ohhhhh the 9-volt battery is different from everything else because it’s british! because of course!

@domi wtf is this holy cow

@aetios i would like you to know that you’re responsible for sending me down this rabbithole with your post about AAAA records being 4 times as large as A records

(i wanted to check if this matches up for AA -> AAA -> AAAA batteries. it doesn’t, not even when you divide the amount of A’s and take the fraction)

i am of the opinions that packaging electronics in cardboard fucked and we should bring it back

@domi rofl

@domi I can't find a clear definition for 'coin cell', but Wikipedia says that it is a wide button cell. And IEC 61951-1 says that a button cell is a cylindrical cell with a diameter greater than its height. So by Wikipedia's own definition, CR425 is definitely not a coin cell.

@domi Nickels -> Thnickels implies etc etc

@domi category idea

battery types not listed in the "List of battery sizes" Wikipedia article

@eloy we spoiled this one already so at least i can be sure it won’t be on eth0

@domi are you sure it's not a compressed gas cylinder? o.O

@wolf480pl

@domi a minature APFSDS round for model tanks

@domi you've never seen a long cylindrical coin with a long pin sticking out of one side? /s

@noisytoot you could probably stack yen coins on this “coin cell”

@domi I didn't know yen coins had holes too (norwegian and danish krone coins have them)
