And the label doesn't say anything about it, doesn't have the "don't throw in the trash" logo.

Those LEDs are glued in, there's no way to remove batteries before discarding the item

I had a small bag of them for a year. I'll just dispose of it at this point. They're discharged so they likely lost quite a bit of capacity.

My dad used to use those. Better yet, from Wish.

And anyway, I have a similar bag of old 18650s to take care of. I should check their voltages now that I remembered it. I know their capacities used to be OK, but similar story. Haven't touched them for a while.
