Batteries don’t create EM fields...

The generators and motors might, though.

Facts never get in the way of a zealot with lawyer friends.

Of course they do, but they are very slowly varying, almost static, magnetic fields. They don't propagate, except during transients, like when you give 'er the juice, or back off on the 'juice. Then you get and "E" component as well as an "M" component. But you probably would get more EM exposure from the alternator on your gas or diesel engine.

Whoever wrote this certainly has never heard of Maxwell's Equations, or at least never understood them.

That had me laughing as well.

I knew someone else would mention it, so I was patient.

Good job.
