A man's "fascinating and rare" battery finds

Not all fascinating, not all rare, but Josh here shows a fine eye for a battery photograph, so we'll upload his epic 'as is'.

OPENING PREAMBLE
"Last night I was digging through a box of random audio equipment and noticed some remotes, which turned out to contain some fascinating and rare batteries. Inspired, I took pictures of them. They're very large (3264x2448!) so I am going to send you links to them rather than attachments and you can retrieve them yourself."



"First up, a startlingly cheap bicycle headlight turned out to contain a pair of Excell AAs. They're nice and shiny, since this light has never been used on an actual bike."



"Second, a trio of Extra Energy AAs, looking very blue. They came installed in a light-up umbrella. No, really."



"Third, our old friend Golden Power, showing up packed in with a Korg Kaossilator."



"The Kaossilator is a depressingly trendy audio toy. The first picture is just the batteries, and the second includes the Korg itself. They were described on the box as 'test batteries'. I'm not sure what that implies."



"Fourth, the Gold Peak Greencell, which is, indeed, green. I forget what they were in. It was probably something embarrassing, so you can make something up if you'd like."



"Fifth, the astonishing New Titen. These came with a mostly low-quality device designed to allow you to hook your crappy old game console up to your shiny new computer monitor and thus save you the trouble of having to own both a monitor AND a television."



"It also saves you the trouble of playing games, since it doesn't really work very well. The New Titens appear to have started to corrode and were quickly thrown out after this photo shoot."



"Sixth, the Vinnic line returns. These were installed in a remote control for a tiny and very trendy audiophile-grade pre-amp. Note that while the remote has loads of buttons, the pre-amp itself has only a knob."



"The volume buttons control the knob (it's motorised!) and only the first two buttons on the keypad are functional. They switch between the two inputs on the pre-amp. (Actually, the third button controls a tape output, but really, who uses that kind of thing any more? I haven't touched an actual cassette in years.)In short, if you lose the remote, you're basically screwed."

"Vinnic batteries, if you recall, were previously involved in an embarrassing display of your willingness to encourage some fellow to dig through his girlfriend's things, dismantling her personal items."

"Note that the OLD Vinnics I have submitted are the original design, and are considered highly collectible in some segments of the battery market."



"Finally (FINALLY!) another example of the new-fangled Vinnic series, here paired with a remote control for a fan, which enables me to turn said fan on and off from across the room without requiring me to drag my massive carcass off the couch if ("IF," ha! WHEN) I start sweating."



"I hope you find these submissions fascinating and delightful. Please attempt to ignore my filthy floor. At least the filth is depicted in detailed high resolution" - Josh.
