What the hell am I supposed to do with this old, flat

Got a new one, took the old one out, put the new one in. What happen it now?

Can't sling it in the bin I don't think.

People who didn't start driving in their thirties... help!

The local council tip will have a big battery bin to sling it in

Now I'm torn...

Note, the big battery bin is actually both a bin for big batteries, and a big bin that you put batteries in.

Some councils will pick them up with the recycling. It's how I got rid of mine when it died

So there wasn't any charge?

Are you positive?

Our Council's battery collection facility is their environmental services' Joule in the crown.

Yep, I'll fetch my coat.

Watt are you lot playing at? The earthy puns in this thread are shocking.

Oh, well played, sir!

I'm all out of puns, but GY, take it to your local scrap merchant and weigh it in - you should get about £4 for it. Good opportunity to get rid of any other scrap metal while you're at it.

I took some old broken cymbals and stands to the scrap yard and got about £30. I would have thrown them away normally too so it's definitely worth it.

So he should Cell it?

Zardoz · **Posted:** Fri Mar 30, 2012 13:05

Money for old batteries? I'm shocked.

TheVision · **Posted:** Fri Mar 30, 2012 13:05

Brilliant.

You guys should charge, you're that funny

Plissken · **Posted:** Fri Mar 30, 2012 13:53

At least this thread is positive.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Fri Mar 30, 2012 13:57

Node to self: Don't bother with any more electricty based puns, they've probably already done the circuit.

Plissken · **Posted:** Fri Mar 30, 2012 14:04

I'll also try to resistor.

It's gone a bit flat anyway

MaliA · **Posted:** Fri Mar 30, 2012 14:16

You should find a good ohm for it.

I tried to get the wife to dispose of our old batteries but she refused. There was a lot of resistance.

Ohm my God, that was bad. Watt made you tell that joke?
My resistance to post further in this thread has been overcome by my capacitance to reason clearly.

Definitely in terminal decline now.

Those are all painfully old. Don't you know any current puns?

FFS, just run down to the tip with it.

Run down, as in a battery which has no power left is said to be "run down". They are talking about a battery, which has no charge left.

Wire the mods allowing this to continue? Surely they must be cable to close one thread down.

I don't have the capacitor to stop laughing.

Typical mods. Once they've been volted in they don't watt to know. We count (Volta) on them and this is what we get in return (too obscure?)

Cavey · **Posted:** Sat Mar 31, 2012 15:26

Haven't you lot got Ohms to go to?

Not any more, tried to pay the mortgage but I was short.

If any one could come up with more puns, I'd like to meter

I'd put each of you in solitary for this awfulness, but I'm not sure how long you could endure a cell...

GazChap · **Posted:** Sat Mar 31, 2012 17:36

God, this thread's going to run right down to the wire, isn't it?

Plissken · **Posted:** Sat Mar 31, 2012 17:43

Wish someone would just pull the plug. I know the mods will just re-fuse.
