HOW TO START A FIRE WITH A CELL PHONE BATTERY
HOW TO START A FIRE WITH A CELL PHONE BATTERY
1: REMOVE the battery from your cell phone.
2: LOCATE the positive and negative terminals on the battery. Look for small gold plates on the bottom of the battery. The outermost plates are the positive and negative terminals.
3: ROLL a piece of aluminum foil, aluminum-lined paper, or steel wool into a thin log a few inches long.
4: PREPARE very light, dry tinder. The spark or flame you get from a battery may be very short-lived, so use the best tinder possible.
5: FORM the foil or steel wool into a “U” shape and press the ends onto the positive and negative ends of the terminal at the same time.
6: USE the spark or flame generated from short-circuiting the battery to ignite.
