Hi Scrapette... I, myself, would definitely try to resurrect these kind of batteries. There's more than a little gloom and doom element to my thinking given what could happen in Europe. I always grab those LED yard light thingies; I figure all I need are some little ni-cad batteries and a panel of the yard lights... put them out during the day and bring them in at night... voila! LightProbably more information than you needed.
