Hmmm. Years of handling lead; that might explain some things...
On a philosophical note, does a battery count as a battery if it's not part of the electrical system? Yes, yes, I know the rules about one and only one 12v primary battery, but if it's not plugged into anything is it really a battery? Is it not just a battery shaped weight? Not that I'm advocating for using extra batteries as weights, but still an interesting point of discussion.
