[QUOTE="BillM, post: 4323516, member: 45785"] We did this at the photo labs I worked in for the Air Force. It does work, if you have the batteries wrapped to prevent condensation from collecting on them. We used a 510V battery for the flash units, and those were the best proof. Those sucker's died in a few days to a week if not stored cold. This was before alkaline batteries were common. They're not as succeptible to heat as the older carbon-zinc batteries are. They're also harder to find now. We went through hundreds of batteries a week at several of the labs. Had to buy in bulk. Kept the film in in cold storage, too.
