No help on security,and at the risk of crossing threads, it's worth holding onto the lipo batteries for small solar type project as in above thread.A billion AAs are dumped every year,and most lipo batteries I've rescued from scrapped devices are 90%,it's normally the surrounding electronics that fail.One rechargeable lipo may replace 3 AAs in a gadget.
Apologies again for digressing .
