Battery recycling advice — no charge
I don’t think anyone in New Zealand is naïve enough to believe recycling will save the world, but it’s a damn sight better than dumping everything in your wheelie bin and praying for Rapture. So, having recently bought a new battery for my Toshiba laptop, I made some enquiries about what to do with the expired lump of two-year-old garbage it has replaced. I bought my new cell online from these guys — highly recommended on price (less than half the cost of the same battery from the laptop specialist where I bought the PC) and prompt service, to boot. James Huang of the Fortech Computers & Network Team came back with this very helpful response:“I have talk someone special re-cell battery man, the cell can be recycling and the type cell is OK for the land.”So quickly is my mind put at rest! Mr Huang’s special battery man clearly knows what he’s talking about and we all know how safe laptop batteries are. Meanwhile, Toshiba’s local website is characteristically devoid of battery recycling information. The matter of Lithium-ion battery recycling is contentious. Do NZBC readers have any experience with the impact of this chemistry on our environment?

I suppose it'd be irresponsible to put it on an open fire & see what happens?
Well, Mark said as long as I didn't tie it to a cat and then throw it at any kids, I could do what I liked with it. I should be out of the Burns Unit in about a year.
Isn't lithium good for bipolar disorder? Spread it around!
