Some fellow was looking to recover the Ag . He was told to reduce the pulverized Ag compound by heating it with powdered charcoal. I wondered where he would find enough to make it worthwhile.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver-oxide_battery
A silver oxide battery (IEC code: S), also known as a silver–zinc battery,
"A silver oxide battery is a small-sized primary battery using silver oxide as the positive electrode (cathode), zinc as the negative electrode (anode) plus an alkaline electrolyte, usually sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH). The silver is reduced at the cathode from Ag(I) to Ag(s) and the zinc is oxidized from Zn to Zn(II)."
