Hello all,
I am a clueless visitor to the world of electronics. But I have an urgent question about the risk of an AAA battery if dropped into a swimming pool
Because of a damaged knee, I have to do serious exercise in a large indoor swimming pool each day, wearing foam belts to keep me afloat, never getting my head wet, a good third of me always above the water line. To past the time, I have begun wearing a nifty Sony headset radio powered by one tiny AAA battery and listen to good music. Lately, the pool manager told me that there have been worried questions by others who use the pool when I do--ie: what if the earphones fell off into the water, would they get a shock or worse? I've been told I need to document the fact that this will not happen if indeed there is no threat. It seems to me impossible that this tiny battery IS a threat, but I need your help! Is there a textbook/article/anything out there that I can xerox to show this pool manager that doom does not await the other users of the pool in the very unlikely event that the headset does slip off my head?
I would be terrifically grateful for any and all help on this.
meanwhile, much cheer....
