What did I do to cause the AA battery to pop and leak? Is this LED working right?

What did I do to cause the AA battery to pop and leak? Is this LED working right?

ok, I could use some help. I’ve watched 1000 YouTube videos on this and I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. I’m trying to learn this so I can help teach my son because he’s 8 and builds crazy contraptions out of cardboard and I want to support his desire to “level up”

I have 4 LED yellow lights. I wired them in parallel to a push button momentary on switch or a rocker switch and 6 AA batteries. (pic is a recreation.)

now each battery is 1.5v and the voltage range for the lights is 9v-12v. so this puts it right at 9v

why do the battery packs get hot / smoke / pop eventually? this is the first one to pop and leak black shit, but the others have gotten hot before we pulled the battery’s out.

specs for the lights :

color : yellow

voltage range : 9v-12v

maximum current : 20mA

anode : yellow wire

cathode : black wire.

[FS] US-CA Bay Area - ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Turbo Graphics Card x2

Hello -

Bot says 0 sales / 8 buys but I have a bit more than that.

I'm selling 2 graphics cards that were being stored as back ups for my boss's computer.

ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Turbo 11GB GDDR5X Graphics Card

Looking for $300 if you take both shipped. $280 local. I think thats a pretty good deal considering ebay prices at $170 before shipping each for these, but let me know if i'm off the mark.

Timestamp of pics, happy to do a video if someone wants it though its under the $400 so I didn't bother :

[FS] US-CA Bay Area - AC Infinity Airframe T7-N Cabinet / Closet Fan

Hello -

I have a new in box AC Infinity Airframe T7-N Cabinet intake fan. Originally I had aspirations of building a hidden server rack into my attic with this on the wall to draw air in, but it was ambitious and I've been sitting on this for way too long. Never used, but great if you want to slap it on a door to a server cabinet or closet where your media stuff goes.

They're $120 brand new from AC Infinity - I'll take $100 shipped or $80 local pick up (North Bay Area.)

[PC] Raspberry Pi 4 8gb Bundle of 4 + rack mount + HDMI hat + POE hat

Trying to get a feel for how to price this. I would rather sell it altogether for less hassle. Ebay looks like ~$130 per Pi. I'm thinking $500 for the Pi's, plus $30 for the 1u 19" rack mount, and throw in the HDMI hats and POE for like... $50? So in total $580 for the entire thing? maybe $550 for a quick sale?
