I like to cut these up and hardwire them into projects. Vote keep all, good to use as consumables.
I like to cut these up and use them in projects
Actually @Logan_Buchy and I went through the metal scraps in ~Octoberish and removed a ton of stuff, only keeping the fairly high quality metal scraps.
Those tripod legs look like garbage though.
Good question, the answer is yes. Batteries, like many modern products, come with safety concerns. Such products need to be handled in a responsible manner. These batteries are being stored in a nearly discharged state, which means their chemical energy level (thus potential for fire) is at their lowest point. The biggest risks come with overcharging, overheating and physical damage. While there will alway be a small level of danger from these, I currently worry more about the flammable liquids in our paint locker.
I would also like to see the batteries kept. They are very good quaLITY AND i use them often in projects. In the last year the pile has gone down alot from members using them for projects.
