Make a Battery With Your Own Hands in 5 Simple Steps

This is really not difficult and only a few simple components are needed.
Making Cardboard Circles




First of all, prepare the details for your future hand-made battery. Use vinegar mixed with salt to clean coins (they'll really look as bright as brand new). Leave them in the liquid for a while after you've cleaned them. Meanwhile cut 8-10 cardboard circles the same size as your coins.
Making Foil Circles



Also, make circles from folded foil the same size as your coins.
Assembling the Battery




So, after you have prepared all the details, you can assemble your battery. Put the details one one another in the following order: a coin, a cardboard circle, a foil circle. Do it until all the details are used. On the top of your battery should be a coin.
Test With Multimeter

Measure voltage on the battery with multimeter, if you have it.
It's Done!


Attach with sticky tape two wires to your battery: one on its top, another to its bottom. You also should wrap up your battery with a sticky tape. Fix metal terminals to free wire ends.
And it's done!
As you can see, it's not a big deal to assemble a simple battery by your own hands. You don't need special skills or materials to make such a useful thing.
