You could buy one but some of us are dummies

The lion kingdom's wasabi battery puffed after 3 years, creating a source of dummy battery parts.

There's no way to open it without destroying the plastic.  Once inside, we're greeted with 2 uninsulated cells which are very easy to short circuit.  

The jackpot is the gold plated circuit board.  It would cost a fortune to make that.

The object of the game is to connect B+ & P-.  BC is a balancing terminal which doesn't exist in a dummy battery.  B- isn't connected to the terminal.

The enclosure has tabs for aligning the board.
