For years, I have been saving dead batteries in a cardboard box. I did not want to throw the dead batteries in the trash, which then would go into the earth with some toxic waste. I learned how to recycle the batteries and it was much easier than I expected. I share the results with you.

Acid can release electricity from metal. What is an easy-to-find source of acid? Tomatoes!
VIDEO
The video above shows how an LED and a buzzer are powered by a tomato battery. It’s just two different metals dipped into mashed tomatoes. It even helps charge a AAA battery.
How does this work?
