how many people throw old batterys away thinking they are dead?

i think pretty much everyone throws batteries in the trash, there hasn't been a spate of battery related fires so it sounds like its relatively safe - of course there will be flukes but its nothing to cause major worry.

I think that is a very intelligent thing to do. I give away crap I'm done with all the time. Especially the ones that hum. I think all these people on here telling you you're cheap are really just jealous that they don't work with you.\n\nIt's better after the new plastic smell goes away anyway...

check with the manufacturer of your phone or a local electronics store like Radio Shack.  Older cell phone batteries used to need to be drained fully in order to preserve their lives, but a lot of new cell phone batteries don't require that anymore.

No you're not.  I have one and I know most people in the US over the age of about 12 to about 25 do but many people have been deleting theirs because of the controversies surrounding it.  It can be really dangerous and there are other ways of kepping in touch so I don't suggest you get one.

check in dumpsters in buisness parks.  usually they just throw old computers and monitors away once they get new ones.

Heat drains out battery power. To help them last longer place them in the refrigerator! Keep new batteries in original package, or place them in a plastic bag to fight against moisture. Remove the batteries from the refrigerator 2 hours before using.\nhttp://foodgeeks.com/resources/householdtips.phtml?cat_id=10\nMore info on\nhttp://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mbattcharge.html

the battery is only used to keep the date and clock settings.  the only way keeping it plugged in and off could harm it is if there would be a power surge or lighting struck the house, which could fry it.

Radio Shack has a worldwide recycling program at all of their stores.  They will recycle any battery that they sell.

Negative.  The more minutes used, the weaker the battery.

Ask for one.  Lots of people give away their old computers when they buy a new one.
