Maybe Duracells taste like candy. I can't think it's good for him/her since they're chock full of battery acid, a corrosive substance.

On batteries? It means they'll probably eventually die because batteries are full of nasty chemicals.

May be related to a condition called Pico - People crave to eat inedible items. It is debatable as to whether it is a mental illness or a dietary deficiency that causes these "strange" cravings. Time for some web research and mabye a trip to the Dr.

Stress mixed with a little oral fixation occasionally causes people to chew on weird things.
I would also look at control issues - specifically, how this behavior might fit into a bigger landscape of the parent/child relationship. Similar to the way eating disorders are sometimes related to an overly controlling, autocratic parent.

Chewing/eating inedible objects is called pica. It's a classic sign of anaemia. Try getting the 14 year old to eat more green veg (ha) or otherwise try em on some iron supplements. It should go away once their iron is back to normal levels.
If this is a female 14 year old who has started her periods then thats fine. If it's a male however, they are not getting enough iron for some other reason and must go to the doctors.

you should keep battery's away. chewing on them is REALLY bad...but if he swallowed one he could instantly die because of the chemicals. definitely get rid of the battery's and consult a doctor.

First, this is very, very dangerous and I would be preventing this person access to any batteries. Second, it may be a sign of some sort of nutritional deficiency. Last though would be some sort of behavior problem and/or mental illness. I would be talking with my doctor about this problem.
