[NSRCA-discussion] Battery Recycling...Batteries Plus

[Scott Pavlock]

Has anyone had issues with the electrodes being eaten away when put in salt
water? As I understand, if there is a charge left in the cells, the nickel
tabs will corrode away leaving the cells still charged but without a way to
discharge them. Thus, it id important to fully discharge the cells to 0
volts before putting them in salt water. Haven't run into this but would
like to know if anyone else has.
