What's the safest way to dispose of a lipo battery? I have 3 old single cells I wanna get rid of.

slowly, carefully discharge them - and put them in a bucket of Salt Water (not sure how long that takes - but I believe overnight should do the trick) then drop them in a regular trash can...

I left them in the salt/water for a few days to make sure .

2 weeks in the salt water bath will neutralize the chemicals 100%. Wrap in newspaper/paper towels and throw in the trash. Landfill safe in this state.

That's funny I did the same thing. Broke in my new Rockriver Arms AR15 with three old 1s packs was pretty cool.:thumbsup:

Thanks guys.

I gave them the old plank and nail treatment at the end of the driveway, won't do that again man you should've seen the smoke! Good thing the neighbor's windows were shut, could've set off a smoke detector.

Chuck those packs were slightly swelled up I thought it was safest just to get rid of them instead of giving them to someone else.

We've had a heat wave this week - and somehow I had a pack that ended up sitting in Direct Sunlight - PUFFED UP 3 inches tall - It's sitting in a cointainer of Salt Water *IN THE SUN - IN THE BACK YARD - where it's been for about a week now... The Water HAS TO BE BOILING HOT in the heat of the day!!! Nothing - I thought maybe it would do SOMETHING!!
