    Crack it open and swap out the cells for new ones, Linus Tech Tips has a video on how to do it.

  • Try mobile muster?

    Maybe Officeworks as well or your local council tip will take them.

    Battery World accepts all types of old batteries for recycling for free.

  • Treat as eWaste

    This is for Victoria for example, https://www.sustainability.vic.gov.au/Campaigns/eWaste/Where…

  • Aldi does accept lithium batteries, but only household sizes.

    Can probably take the cells out as suggested.
