Another wonderfully Weird Holiday……Today February 18th is National Battery Day
When you look at it there are very few things that don’t either depend on a battery or it has a battery back-up. Will the list ever stop? My guess is probably not. Batteries are used everywhere, from the battlefield to smoke alarms to headsets. They come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and power capacity, to fit a wide array of needs.
We are all energized by the many uses and applications and today is an opportunity to celebrate this vital invention. Just imagine where the world would be without batteries. We'd still be using a crank to start our automobiles. We'd have to cart around long extension cords to bring the boombox, is there such a thing anymore, to the beach. And, forget about hand-held games. They'd never be popular tied to an electrical outlet.
Yup, batteries are electrifying!
Today is a good time to appreciate the power of batteries in our everyday life.
