grab a multimeter and measure the voltage   

or check the charger that came with the battery and see what its charging them with

also ,  my guess is that each of the small yellow batteries are 1.2V

I would say that the yellow ones are prob not 1.2v as they look a bit bigger than a single battery, to me it looks like a small pack (like maybe 3.6v or something)

err, They are cylindrical...

Anyway being only 50mah theres no point argueing, throw them away smash they arent any use for anything

Paulstreat is right. If you are not planning on using them for a robot they might be useful for something, like for running a computer fan.

Its not that hard

However some computers require you to have certain bits , so i would go get a jewelers screwdriver set( i think thats what its called)

Or you could just rip off the case ( if you dont plan on using it for a chassis or something) , take a hammer, a chisel, and a saw.

all computer cases are held together by either screws or stuff slides into each other to lock in place.

regular sized screwdriver and some investigating is all you need

yeah it's usually REALLY easy to open a computer. My dad has done it a couple of times to add memory and stuff.
