Re: lipo?
Discharge the pack down to zero voltage using a motor, light bulb,(12v car bulb), etc. Next gently puncture the outer cases of the cells (knife blade attached to a stick,maybe??)and let it sit in saltwater overnight. Remove 24 hours later, wrap it up in a plastic bag and toss in the trash."

Re: lipo?
You should not bin old batteries but take them to a recycling centre.

Re: lipo?
There is always a first time for everything.
I get as far as collecting the old batteries and I now have a large Quality Street tin full but always seem to forget them when I got to the dump.
