When you finish up - you decide to be a litterbug and give the old battery a careful shove z straight "down" - that is - towards the planet's center mass.

What will be the path of the batteity - in relation to your point of view?

It will appear to accelerate 'forwards' in relation to the station's current orbit.

Scott Manly has a Youtube vid on if an Astronaut can throw something hard enough for it to de-orbit.

Also... playing Kerbal Space Program and trying to keep near Kerbin space Kessler free is also good experience.
