This is so funky I didn't know what to put in the subject line. Anyway, I received an email forward telling me a tired dry cell battery, in this case it's a AA size, will bounce a few times when dropped on it's bottom end and a fully charged one will land with a thud without bouncing. I've never heard of this. Maybe a bunch of you guys have, but not me.

Both of them bounced two or three times before coming to rest. Then I took two fresh Duracell AA's and dropped them the same way. The new ones lit with a thud and just fell over without bouncing. I did this over and again with the same results.
I know what the inside of a battery looks like but I'm not a chemist in any way. So what kind of an explanation can you experts give us? Density is probably at play here right? Jim
