My spouse used to get them but I finally convinced them to start using refillable ones, so while every month there’s still a little plastic being thrown away, at least it’s not an entire chunk with a battery getting tossed every week.

I can’t even remember the last time I rode a bike without seeing at least one.

Sadly most of them aren’t usable as a battery pack, I really wish I could find the same brand and style consistently but even those sometimes have wildly different cells in them. I need ones that have relatively the same capacity, will hold a charge, and discharge around the same rate.

I think I’m gonna try and make a small rc plane out of one of those Styrofoam kits, I’m sure most of the cells I’ve scavenge would be enough for a couple minutes of flight. No chance of running a car, but I really want one of those foam jet gliders so I can mount a simple battery and switch, just make it fly in a straight line for a few hundred feet. It’d be neat.

I’m kind of running out of ideas for them since I’m getting so many. I’ve stopped soldering my jst connectors to them and most are just chilling in small baggies to keep them from shorting.
