I've just done a round of upgrades on phones and now have a handful of batteries to dispose of. Does anyone still take these things as recycling? It's been so long since I've been to a big-box store, I really have no idea these days.

Your kitchen is a good place.

Carefully smash them apart. Unravel the inside thing. Peel the copper sheet away from the silvery lithium sheet. Wipe off the carbon dust. Throw away everything else.

Lithium is cool. You might be able to do some pyro shit with it. Don't get it wet. Store in an airtight container on a low humid day.

You can make a homemade battery with the copper sheet. By sandwiching an identical shaped piece of household aluminum foil. Then get some activated charcoal from you fishtank filter, or get any type of carbon/charcoal, then crush it into a powder. You won't use more than half a teaspoon of carbon. Spread your homemade carbon dust inside a homemade paper towel envelope. Then saturate the carbon "meat layer" of your sandwich with tweaker piss. It's got electrolytes that plants crave.

There ya go, a 1.2v battery cell. Make some more cells wired in series and keep trying to find the best tweaker piss

I prefer bleach/copper/aluminum batteries.

Hi Mr. Bird. I can't figure out a way to send you a private msg on here. I have an inbox but no compose button.

Wanted to ask you a favor regarding one of your interests.

I'll be in touch unless u do first.
