Save The Environment - Use Rechargeable AA Batteries And Battery Chargers

In our ever-changing society, we have grown a larger dependence on battery powered electronics. In the United States alone, 2.9 billion batteries are thrown away a year. Sending any type of battery to the landfill or incinerator means the contents of the battery will ultimately end up getting into the soil, air, water, and eventually into the food chain. The most common system for powering small electronics by consumers is to repeatedly buy and use disposable alkaline batteries. A battery takes chemical energy and converts it to electrical energy. The chemical by-products become or already are hazardous to the general environment. When the batteries are thrown away, the chemicals can drain out and enter the water supply, causing people to be exposed to the hazardous chemicals. The metals and chemicals found in batteries can absorb into soil and when consumed, cause many negative effects that can damage the central nervous system, cause seizures, learning disabilities and mental defects.

Several different solutions have been developed to decrease the negative impacts of Alkaline on the environment. Rechargeable batteries are the most cost efficient solution and there are many different options available. Some of the more popular brands are Sony Eneloop and other brands like Duracell that are rechargeable NIMH batteries. Theses batteries can be recharged hundreds of time and reduce the amount of toxic waste that goes into our landfills and environment. Duracell and Sony are some of the more popular brands, but just four batteries could cost up to 20 dollars and that’s without the battery charger.

The Revive Series Refresh NIMH Battery charger provides power to these rechargeable batteries and comes with four rechargeable truCELL AA batteries for a cost of around 20 dollars. It’s capable of charging 2-4 AA batteries at once and has a Smart LCD Display monitor to show real-time charging status of each battery. The truCELL batteries and charger are more affordable than other popular brands, but have nearly the same features. The batteries can be recharged and used up to 500 times each, which saves a lot of waste from entering the landfills. They have a mAh of around 2400 and provide enough power for the latest electronic devices. This Revive Series Refresh NIMH Battery comes with a wall and car charger so it can be used anywhere.
