(Dead) Battery and Assault

I find a box of batteries. Then I find another. And then another.

I pull them all out. I make the Husband pull out the battery tester. How many of these are any good? How many should be taken to the local hardware store for safe departure?

After all was said and done, we had two boxes filled with decent, still working batteries of all kinds ... enough AAAs, AAs, As, Cs and Ds for the next five times we go to Burning Man.

After all was said and done, we had a large bag filled with dead batteries that I am taking away today. How much are we talking about here? I just weighed the bag. We had 21 pounds of dead batteries.

Twenty-one pounds.
