I read somewhere that weight was somehow an indicator of quality of battery materials

Let us know what happens either way.  -Bruce Well, I went to find it and my partner had thrown it with the recycling - which she then took to the recycling depot. So I have nothing to send back. I'll still email them and see what they say...
