Actually, if you use a Joule Thief circuit, you can light many leds from a “dead” AA battery. I have been able to light 400 of them from one dead AA battery. For more information, see our Joule Thief topic over at Overunity.com. You can see this on my youtube videos.

Note that many areas do not consider alkaline batteries to contain hazardous materials.

Here is one such example:
http://www.cswd.net/whattodo/#batteries

Quote: “Regular alkaline batteries and dead lithium batteries are not considered hazardous. They may be safely discarded as trash.”

Here is another great fact sheet I found about this topic: http://www.h2e-online.org/pubs/alkbatfs.pdf

Before anything like this could really take off you fist need to get more states on board in declaring them as a mandatory recyclable item.
