&.&.&.&.&. Batteries May Not Harm A Human Or, &.&.&.&.&.
&.&.&.&.&. Through Inaction, Allow A Human Being &.&.&.&.&.
&.&.&.&.&. To Come To Harm. &.&.&.&.&.
&.&.&.&.&. &.&.&.&.&.
&.&.&.&.&. A Battery Must Obey The Orders Given It &.&.&.&.&.
&.&.&.&.&. By Human Beings Except Where Such &.&.&.&.&.
&.&.&.&.&. Orders Conflict With The First Law. &.&.&.&.&.
&.&.&.&.&. &.&.&.&.&.
&.&.&.&.&. A Battery Must Protect Its Own &.&.&.&.&.
&.&.&.&.&. Existence As Long As Such Protection &.&.&.&.&.
&.&.&.&.&. Does Not Conflict With The First Or &.&.&.&.&.

&.&.&.&.&. Think Double A, Triple A, &.&.&.&.&.
&.&.&.&.&. Twentyfive twenty, Nine volt, Such &.&.&.&.&.
&.&.&.&.&. Things... &.&.&.&.&.
&.&.&.&.&. &.&.&.&.&.
