Safety Check for Old Batteries?

if i see that pic, and thinking about what i heard about this kind of batteries…
… i feel compelled to play devil’s advocate.

even being a “trash-modeler” and junk collector on a shoestring budget myself - i would never ever allow such a box of old “fire-starters” into my home.

even if it costs more, i would either use old fashioned alcaline batteries, or even brandnew rechargeable of a company, known for good quality.
(having worked as a fireinspector of an insurance and as fire-chief of the local volunteer firebrigade, i might be a bit too cautious, but… )

Jerry,

No. I know enough about these things to not touch them until I understand a bit more about them. I suppose testing wit a volt meter is of minimal risk.

Between @PeterT and @Korm , I am leaning towards finding the local HAZMAT collection site.
