I guess my next move would be to try an internet search, but shipping cost will probably be greater than salvage value.

If you happen to find a vendor that buys these batteries, please post the info, as I am starting to accumulate small Lithium batteries pulled from old computers and other battery powered equipment. I keep these discharged to eliminate fire hazard.
For small Li-Ion batteries 18650, 21700s etc. Home Depot and Lowes have a drop-off. As well as battery stores.
