How much damage can AA or AAA batteries sustain?

How much damage can AA or AAA batteries sustain?

It is no secret that a drop of 3 feet (say from a table to the floor) is enough to damage the outer shell of a battery causing leakage and disperse caustic electrolytes.

After a long day or at dawn with little sleep, the chances of having equipment slip and fall when you are fumbling with your gear are at peak. 

I wouldn’t worry too much if single cell batteries were designed to be robust and could withstand falls and accidental damage.

But batteries, with their cylindrical shape, roll like bald tires. And the outer shell, often slick like a mirror, doesn’t enhance grip.

In a nutshell, a smooth, rolling, cylindrical battery is an chemical bomb waiting for a disaster.

Will you ever drop a battery?

Maybe not.

But do you really want to play against the odds using a leaky battery in your expensive gear?

Surely not.
