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.

um yes but im surprised u didnt know this already. same as auto batteries
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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)...

LOL @ Jim Gaffigan
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.
