It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I like the idea... I think it's a terrible waste to have to toss things just because of a pooched battery pack that normally can't be easily replaced. This would certainly help keep things from the landfills.
I hope it can happen with other things too eventually... like cordless tools. I have several drills that, while the drills themselves are in great shape, the batteries are cooked and in a lot of cases it's cheaper to just buy a new drill than to replace the battery packs.
