As much as I like going out of my way to do something clever and interesting, there is a time one must think about the cost and energy of trying to do it another way. Like when I wanted to repurposed an Insight battery. Yes, I COULD have done it- but it wasn't reasonable. For the energy, risk and money it would take, I could just get other batteries, save time, money, and not risk my life. Your situation is different, but the principle is the same.
I don't get a lunch break where I work :P.
