In the age of the
mobile device, we use more batteries than ever before. From our TV remotes and
handheld GPS units, to mobile games, we depend on our batteries. While a lot of
our devices now incorporate internal, rechargeable batteries, there are still a
lot of devices that need their batteries swapped out when they die. If you use
a lot of batteries, then you may find yourself trying to decide between
replacing with single-use or rechargeable?
Let's take a look at the Advantages of Rechargeable Batteries.
1. Performance – Since rechargeable batteries can be recharged many times over, the cumulative total service life exceeds that of primary batteries by a wide margin.
2. Savings – Recharging rechargeable batteries many hundred times is giving the consumer tremendous savings in the long run.
3. Environmentally friendly – Since the cumulative service is so much longer than primary batteries, only a fraction of the solid waste is generated and a solid waste reduction of 90% and more is possible. If the battery contains no toxins, such as rechargeable alkalines, they can be even disposed of in regular landfills. Other rechargeable, which do contain toxins such as NiMH should be recycled. Most stores nowadays do take old rechargeable back.
