I have discovered that some things, like wireless mouses, can take a
battery that appears dead in another device, and run *for months*.

I just took two AA batts out of my mouse, and I have never seen a
battery test so "dead". Replaced them with "normally dead"
batteries! Mouse works fine.

So if you have a battery tester, you can separate batteries by
"degrees of deadness", and still get some use out of them.

fwiw.... carbon footprints, donchaknow....

Oh yeah, I keep all batts in the freezer.
