A bit of an awkward introduction into Batteries and how they work. They have a weird beginning of a kid shoving coins between his tongue for some odd reason, which is explained further in the film. I guess that was there to attract attention. Anyways, a somewhat creepy Mr. Science type guy explains to us about electricity and batteries and experiments you can do if you have the time or the interest (which explains the kid). It's all a bit dry.
