3x031 - Nickel Cadmium Rechargeable Batteries

Trivia

 * Ezra was present for the filming of this episode for the reason mentioned in the previous episode.
 * This is the first time a microwave girl's plate ever broke. It becomes a common occurrence starting in season 6 (season 5 if you count Riley accidentally stepping on Jasmine's plate in the snow).
 * At the end of the episode, Jory says about how they'll kick off season 4 by doing lithium polymer batteries. That didn't happen, but, of course, season 6 was off to a bang when lipo batteries were done in the third episode of the season.
 * Jon mentions how they "need to get Helga ready for season 4", and how she'll be one of the only microwaves to make it past her season. In reality, Helga was the ONLY girl to make it past her season. See the retirement page for more details as to why this is.
 * Jory says that they didn't have a fire extinguisher, but really, they had one inside of the house. This is unlike the toaster episode in season 6, where there really was no working fire extinguisher.
 * This is the second battery experiment in a row.

Quotes
Jory: I just can't keep it up in this microwave! Jory: It's a six-pack of batteries in there.
 * Jory: I mean, from here to here is protected. But here? It's just me that's protecting me, baby! You just gotta do it!
 * Ezra: (in response to battery repeatedly falling inside Helga) You just can't keep it up, Jory!
 * Jon: Dude, you are maxing it to her right now!


 * Jon: That is great, dude, we just broke the Helga plate.
 * Ezra: We don't know that.
 * Jon: There's a good chance of it.


 * Jory: So you may still be wondering, is it a good idea to microwave...
 * Jon: OH GOD NO!
 * Jory: ...nickel cadmium batteries? No! They will break your microwave. It takes forever to microwave this, just don't do it. And guys, stay tuned, we'll be back for Season 4 on June 30th, promise. So be there or be square, I'll be there. There'll be bigger, it'll be better if we'll do lithium polymer.
 * Jon: iPods?
 * Jory: I think we'll do lithium polymer to kick it off. I'm calling you right now.
 * Jon: No, we won't.
 * Jory: Yeah, we will.
 * Jon: We're not gonna do it.
 * Jory: Yeah, we are, so see you guys later. That's it for Is It a Good Idea to Microwave This? I'm your host, Jory Caron.
