Not sure why putting a battery in your pocket at all time or one strapped to your wrist is that much safer.


The one in your pocket is dry, plus if it did somehow start conducting through you it'd zap your leg/wrist and hurt, maybe cause you to spasm and kick something, but that's it. If one on your heart/in your eye socket does it, it wouldn't take much for that to give you a heart attack or shock your optical nerves which is a very short wire into your brain, and as such I can only imagine it would be very very bad for you.


One is inside your body, the others are outside.

Would you rather have a battery in your eye socket catch fire and explode, or one in your pants pocket/on your wrist?
