Thanks for your comment Ben. As we have examples in our Collection already, we are not seeking any more. If you are looking to dispose the batteries, there are battery recycling options which ensure safe disposal.

Hi I've got four of these old batteries, would they be any use to you guys? I don't want to just throw them out?
