Well, I definitely didn't expect my little musings about all the vape batteries I have being such a hot topic tonight. But, yeah, I don't, you know, I know how bad it is to throw away batteries. So just about everything I have that has a lithium battery, whether or not it works, either ends up continuing to be used, if it still works, or it just goes into my quite large lithium battery storage of all of the leftover stuff. So for the vape batteries, for the old disposable vapes, it's just a grocery bag filled with a bunch of them. And it's either take them into a hazardous waste, drop off, which is always the end point if I can't find something to do with them. Or I might do a power bank. I don't think a power wall is quite going to be a thing because I don't really have a house to install that in. I don't think my folks are going to be super approving of that idea, not to mention the logistics of having to wire that all together and controllers and fuses and all that sorts of stuff. That's a lot of input. I could always, if I really felt like doing all that work, tearing them open, slowly dissolving them in water and turning it into lithium hydroxide. But that's quite a bit of work. So they'll probably just end up going to a hazardous waste drop off. But I might pull out some of the better working ones and make a little battery pack at some point because buying the fuses and controllers for something smaller like that is probably a little easier and cheaper on the wallet. So anyway, just wanted to throw that back out there. I definitely, definitely going to be safe. Lithium is not something to play with. And yeah, so glad that was, there's many opinions about that and I am happy that it became a topic. But I was a little surprised by it. Anyways, I'll throw it back to you. Thanks for running that. Have a good night. KJ7WQI.
