Made my first buy at a scrapyard today

That bottom photo, in the bottom right hand corner there's a Motherboard with a horizontal Purple cylinder with a touch of Green on one end, attached to the board by soldered wires, its about the size of a AA battery.

Its a Battery.... Its a Lithium battery and it might be a solid Lithium/Thionyl Chloride long life battery. (So if you cut it open it may reek of Sulphur and react a bit and get maybe quite hot.
Then, if it gets wet, it may react even more, giving off bubbles and smells and it might even spark and catch fire with pretty Purple/Red flames)

You have to take these off before shipping as its 'Hazardous Goods'.
They look like any other component and its a good example of one for yous to see in its natural habitat.

Nice finds too.
