We only had a single installation of the Aqueons you know, bleeding edge stuff.
We installed 12 stacks and of them, 5 stopped taking a charge after a year of operation. The entire bank was never stiff enough to work well constantly swinging voltage that has become too wide of a swing to program the system to operate reliably or smoothly. I was not here for the installation, however in speaking with those who were, it seems that they were handled per the installation instructions. -Glenn From: RE-wrenches <re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org> On Behalf Of Drake Sent: Friday, July 27, 2018 7:12 AM To: RE-wrenches <re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> Subject: Re: [RE-wrenches] Aqueon disposal How many of these are going bad? Is this a major problem, or has mismanagement ruined a few? Drake At 06:54 PM 7/26/2018, you wrote: I was lucky that my local county Hazo-house took a look at the MSDS and said drop them off. The person there saw my big MSDS printout and said uh oh, but then she knew just where to look and said fine no problem drop them off. Too bad not everyone is that knowledgeable about what they are looking at. These are so much easier to move when you take them apart too. 30 lbs cell blocks. Then you have some interesting parts to do something with. Attached is a photo of my Super Aquion Gravel Tamper tool. Some of the other aluminum parts will get incorporated into one of my homemade telescopes.

We have a number that have failed and our local waste station is balking, regardless of how much hand-holding we provide and specifications, MSDS and manufacturer info we supply. We have been referred to the state Environmental Conservation Agency and they are discussing haz-mat and recycling requirements with no understanding of their components. Any suggestions, recommendations or experience with recycling/disposing of these batteries?  Thanks, Glenn _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org <mailto:RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> Change listserver email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org/maillist.html List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm <http://www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm> Check out or update participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org <http://www.members.re-wrenches.org> Content-Type: image/jpeg; name="Aq GT sm.jpg" Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Aq GT sm.jpg" X-Attachment-Id: f_jk35mu4a0 _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org <mailto:RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> Change listserver email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org/maillist.html List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm <http://www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm> Check out or update participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org <http://www.members.re-wrenches.org/>
