What to do with a $800 battery pack

Hey guys,

Any idea what to do with a battery pack once you lost a laptop? The model i got is a PCGA-BP4V, for Sony Vaio's. Never got to using it, but don't have the packaging no more and warrantee is gone.

It's genuine Sony brand one which means it sells for something ridiculously crazy ($849au new), the cheaper brands i've seen for about $130 on eBay.

Maybe I'll just try eat it.. full of Li-ion goodness.

a long time ago, iirc lithium was used as a cure for mental instability.

that being said, you should definately eat it.

Lithium is still used as medication for bipolar disorder.
