I have 3 ELT batts that have expired legally but still put out reasonable voltage.  Any suggested uses with an easily rigged or wired solution? Especially for a potential emergency (grid down, etc) use.



Thanks in advance

Flashlight. The hideously expensive batteries in my 406 ELT are "D" size 

but put out 3 volts. Replaced the bulb with an LED in a $5 flashlight 

and re-purposed the expired batteries.
