In extreme cases, aviophobia symptoms may include an episode of regurgitation, lose of bowel control, and losing consciousness. A strong sense of shame and being a failure is often present in people suffering with this type of phobia.
Other batteries, such as AAA, AA, C, and D alkaline; atomic; and lithium-ion batteries, do not contain mercury. Mercury Use in Batteries. Table 1 presents the total amount of mercury contained in mercury batteries sold in the U.S. in years 2001, 2004, and 2007.4.
It is believed that priming becomes necessary if the voltage drops below 1V/cell. Primary alkaline and lithium batteries can be stored for up to 10 years with only moderate capacity loss. You can store a sealed lead acid battery for up to 2 years. Since all batteries gradually self-discharge over time, it is important to check the voltage and/or specific gravity, and then apply a charge when the battery falls to 70 percent state-of-charge, which reflects 2.07V/cell open circuit or 12.42V for a 12V pack.
