Who does it, is there a market? anyone have info. on this market. I have a rural customer with this question. Apparently W.M. is requiring a special use bin for trash customers and is charging for the service. What gives? Thanks in advance.

One hour photo places take the batteries out of one time use cameras. there is also a little circut board and wire in them. a guy took his apart for scrap i guess, and it sparked on him when he ripped out the stuff. He didnt take the battery out. I thought what a moron. As being a scrapper watching him in the store.

If it was a flash one time use camera they have a pretty powerful capacitator in them and that is probably what got him. You can hear the capacitor humm/whirr and charge up after you take a picture with one of them.Originally Posted by greytruck
My father is an HVAC tech and told me a story about how he learned the hard way not to store capacitators in the same pants pocket as a AA battery. He had replaced an old capacitator on a furnace and put the old one in his pocket after discharging it. About 3 hours later he got one hell of a shock right where you don't want to get a shock! He figures the loose AA battery in his pocket much have charged the capacitator somehow.

I think your Dad thought he discharged the cap. but it still had a charge. There is no way a 1.5 volt battery could charge up a 240 volt cap enough to do any thing.

9 volt battery in the same pocket as your keys=pocket warmer, except more like a hot pocket.

I concur with injunjoe on this one. No way it was the double A.

We should call that a shock in the Hoss zone or something!

Thanks for the info..I knew they were lead-acid, but oddly I have never dealt with them much as I hardly ever use anything with single use batteries. I have brought them to battery plus locations a couple of times. My local battery buyer wants car batteries ( I get the stink eye with motorcycle batteries), never asked about single use. My rural customer is wanting to avoid an $18/mo. fee for single use battery recycling that W.M. is demanding. I will accept them and find a more inclusive battery buyer. Still learning (slowly I'm afraid)...

save up a few hundred pounds of them and just bring them in with the auto batteries. IN A BOX, usually even a hard ass will buy them then.

I used to put my dry cell batterys in my oldschool Nicad battery charger for 10 mins & it would give them a boost.
The akalines were best & I would stay around as they charged because they can get hot & burst/explode if left in there too long.
