This morning as I was about to leave for work, I mentally crossed my fingers as I turned the key in the ignition. My car's battery is not that old, but with the temperature at 6 degrees and my car being out overnight, I knew even a brand new battery might have a problem. My car started with just a millisecond of hesitation, but the iPod I had left in the car was not so lucky.
Button batteries that power some remotes, flame-less candles, watches, and hearing aids can be a major household hazard to young children because the little power cells can be swallowed and wreck havoc with their insides.
