    That is awesome!

    Don't forget that you can't throw batteries away in your normal trash!

    Batteries may produce the following potential problems or hazards:

    Pollute the lakes and streams as the metals vaporize into the air when burned.
    Contribute to heavy metals that potentially may leach from solid waste landfills.
    Expose the environment and water to lead and acid.
    Contain strong corrosive acids.
    May cause burns or danger to eyes and skin.

    In landfills, heavy metals have the potential to leach slowly into soil, groundwater or surface water. Dry cell batteries contribute about 88 percent of the total mercury and 50 percent of the cadmium in the municipal solid waste stream. In the past, batteries accounted for nearly half of the mercury used in the United States and over half of the mercury and cadmium in the municipal solid waste stream. When burned, some heavy metals such as mercury may vaporize and escape into the air, and cadmium and lead may end up in the ash.

    Read the link a few posts back...it says which batteries have the AA and which are full of acid, etc.

    ALSO - the AA batteries are CARBON batteries, which don't last as long as alkaline!

    So make sure you really are saving some money.

    Please dont try this, Battery acid can burn through gloves! Sounds like a prank to me.
