What to do with a bunch of slightly depleted 9V batteries?

The IV pump I was given runs on a single 9V battery. I am instructed to use a fresh battery every night, and am provided with them accordingly.

I'd use a plug pack instead. They can be bought with a 9V battery tab.

Alternatively, rechargeable nine volt batteris are available. I'm not sure how their voltage compares with a real one -- I'd imagine 9.6 or 8.4 volts.

You could open them up and extract the AAAA batteries that are often inside. Not sure what you could use them for though.

Finally, I wish you a full recovery from whatever caused this treatment.
