Are sunbeam batteries alkaline based?

Sunbeam offers both alkaline and carbon-zinc (super heavy duty) versions of their batteries. Alkaline are ideal for higher drain devices such as wireless video game controllers and computer peripherals, radios and certain toys. Carbon-zinc batteries are designed for low drain applications such as remote controls, smoke detectors and clocks.


Can alkaline batteries be charged in the freezer?

NO, putting batteries in the freezer will not charge them. For alkaline batteries (the most common kind of household battery), putting them in the freezer will extend their shelf life by less than 5%. And cold batteries can't be used immediately -- you have to wait until they've warmed up to room temperature first. If you need those batteries for a flashlight in an emergency, this could prove problematic. When stored at room temperature, alkaline batteries retain 90% of their power, and the average shelf life of alkaline batteries is five to seven years. For NiMH and Nicad batteries (often used for electronics), storing them in the freezer might be more practical. These kinds of batteries lose their charge after a few days when kept at room temperature. But they'll retain a 90% charge for months if you store them in the freezer. Just like alkaline batteries, you'll need to wait until they've warmed up before using them. However, this isn't a problem when you need new batteries for your digital camera or other electronic gadget. Battery manufacturers tend to agree. Kodak says "refrigeration is not necessary, nor is it recommended" and "freezing is not recommended" for its alkaline batteries. Duracell advises: "Do not refrigerate Duracell batteries. This will not make them last longer." Both recommend storing batteries in a cool, dry place.


Are alkaline batteries harmful for the environment?

Depends. Because alkaline batteries do not exhibit the characteristics to be classified as a reactive or ignitable waste; and because the batteries pass the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) test; and because the batteries do not meet the required definitions to be a corrosive waste, alkaline batteries are not hazardous waste under Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). (Mercury was phased out of alkaline batteries in conjunction with the "Mercury-Containing and Rechargeable Battery Management Act," passed in 1996) States can be more restrictive than the federal government, but most states classify alkaline batteries according to RCRA regulations. However, some states, have more rigorous regulations. The hazardous waste characterization requirements of Alaska, California, Minnesota, Rhode Island and Washington include a bioassay component. Additional states such as South Carolina regulates all types of batteries as special waste.

Can you recharge normal AA batteries with your car battery charger?

Yes, it can be done, if you put 4 (6v) or 8 (12v) batteries in series or use a dropping resistor to obtain the correct voltage. By using an automobile battery charger 6v to 12volt (start), normal alkaline AA-AAA, C, etc., can be recharged by touching the positive (red) and negative (black) jumper cables to the same pos+/neg- ends on a bank of AA or AAA alkaline non-rechargeable" batteries. WARNING! Some batteries may explode if not used properly. If cables are continuously touching the batteries for too long, it could cause it to pop, snap, or heck, even explode, splattering battery chemicals about, scaring the person. Better batteries don't explode as often as the less expensive ones.
