What happens when I accidentally ingest a 90-watt battery?

Question

My friends dared me to do it but now my stomach rumbles 24/7. Help!

Answer 1

you may die as the acid in your tummy will be eating away on it and the acid int eh battery its self will or may kill you. go to the er tell them what happened and they will have to remove it

Answer 2

You need to get your butt to the hospital ASAP. There are too many scenarios that could end in your death it is not even funny.

1. You might puke and get the battery lodged in your throat, choking you to death.
2. The battery could get caught in your intestines, causing a blockage, if your intestines don't burst and kill you, you will starve to death.
3. Your stomach acid breaks down the battery casing, and the battery fluids inside will certainly kill you as they are very toxic.

Those are the most likely scenarios. There is about a 2% chance that nothing happens at all and you poop it out and are fine. But that still leaves a 98% chance of death.

Swallowing any type of battery can be fatal! To get help, should someone swallow a battery, immediately call The National Battery Ingestion Hot Line collect at [phone]. Or, call 911 or a state/local Poison Control Center.
Batteries made from lead (or other heavy metals) can be very large and heavy and can cause damage to equipment or injuries to personnel if improperly handled.
When using lithium batteries, a "Lith-X" or D-Class fire extinguisher should always be available. Water-based extinguishers must not be used on lithium of any kind, since water will react with lithium and release large amounts of explosive hydrogen.
Before abusively testing a battery, contact the manufacturer of the battery to identify any potential dangers.
Vented batteries must be properly ventilated. Inadequate ventilation may result in the build up of volatile gasses, which may result in an explosion or asphyxiation.
Do not attempt to solder directly onto a terminal of the battery. Attempting to do so can damage the seal or the safety vent.
When disconnecting a battery from the device it is powering, disconnect one terminal at a time. If possible, first remove the ground strap at its connection with the device's framework). Observing this sequence can prevent an accidental short circuit and also avoid risking a spark at the battery. In most late-model, domestic automobiles, the battery terminal labeled "negative" is usually connected to the automobile's framework.
Do not attempt to recharge primary batteries. This kind of battery is not designed to be recharged and may overheat or leak if recharging is attempted.
When recharging secondary batteries, use a charging device that is approved for that type of battery. Using an approved charging device can prevent overcharging or overheating the battery. Many chargers have special circuits built into them for correctly charging specific types of batteries and will not work properly with other types.
Do not use secondary (rechargeable) batteries in smoke detectors. Secondary batteries have a high self-discharge rate. Primary batteries have a much longer shelf life and are much more dependable in emergencies. Consult the smoke detector's user manual for the recommended battery types.
Do not attempt to refill or repair a worn-out or damaged battery.
Do not allow direct bodily contact with battery components. Acidic or alkaline electrolyte can cause skin irritation or burns. Electrode materials such as mercury or cadmium are toxic. Lithium can cause an explosion if it comes into contact with water. Other components can cause a variety of short-term (irritation and burns) or long-term (nerve damage) maladies.
Do not lick a 9 V battery to see if it is charged. You will, of course, be able to determine whether or not the battery is charged, but such a test may result in a burn that may range from simply uncomfortable to serious.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The metallic components of the battery will not burn and the burning electrolyte may splatter, explode, or release toxic fumes. Batteries may be disposed of, however, in industrial incinerators that are approved for the disposal of batteries.
Do not carry batteries in your pocket. Coins, keys, or other metal objects can short circuit a battery, which can cause extreme heat, acid leakage, or an explosion.
Do not wear rings, metal jewelry, or metal watchbands while handling charged cells. Severe burns can result from accidentally short circuiting a charged cell. Wearing gloves can reduce this danger.
Do not use uninsulated tools near charged cells. Do not place charged cells on metal workbenches. Severe arcing and overheating can result if the battery's terminals are shorted by contact with such metal objects.

somebody should give mary there a freakin cookie and a noose. oh yeah the battery. put a light bulb in your @rse and when you fart you can light up your house. and the people who said you will starve to death if your intestines get blocked are morons. you will have way many more problems before you have time to starve. like when you start throwing up fecal matter because it can't pass through your colon. der
