@restartproject not just kerbside, even the main large centres like Battersea in London, arguably the biggest in the region. Loose are a major fire hazard, and they said they previously did light fires, so it is a no-no.
They are only acceptable, under condition, if recycled in their electronic devices. It seems to be a dead-end in this country. If it had been an , I could have taken it back to the store, but it's not the case.

Battery technology is improving in unusual ways. Just goes to show that all the doom and gloom about lithium batteries is premature given all the activity and ingenuity going in to develop alternatives. thenewdaily.com.au/life/scienc

Given how often lithium ion batteries have been catching fire, it seems wise to limit the number you keep around, and to dispose of old ones ASAP.

There are places where you can drop them off for recycling, Staples gives you store credit for the ones you bring them (a fact I learned only after having dropped off a few already).

@moh_kohn we may need to move away from private vehicles but not because of lithium. Newer battery technologies being developed are much cheaper and plentiful. People focus on what’s happening at the moment and ignore developments happening in the background.

Huzzah! BJs had the Energizer AA for the for $1.95 each (18 for $35) vs Amazon $2.74 each (24 for $65.79). Still not cheap…

On my woods walk today I swapped out the SD card in the and discovered the batteries had died. I brought the camera in and replaced the eight AA and then realized that the card from the camera was faulty. Bah. I still had three more ‘good’ ones.
I went on Amazon to buy more batteries (I used my last eight) and found *eeek!* the price of the 24 pack had doubled since my last purchase (July 2022): $33 to $66! I didn’t buy them; I have to rethink this.

By recycling batteries properly, you're not only helping to recover natural resources, but prevent hazardous fires all along the waste chain!

For some reason a lot of people seem to find this amusing.

"Skoltech researchers have developed a novel material for lithium-ion batteries powering electric vehicles. With its ultrahigh energy density, the new cathode material promises longer driving ranges on one charge. Reported in Energy Advances and patented with Rospatent, the material is a familiar nickel-rich layered transition metal oxide, but with an altered microstructure that packs more energy per unit volume."
