They should be dropped in a battery recycling bin. Such bins often exist in or near electronics stores. Make sure they accept alkaline batteries. Some only accept rechargeable batteries. Using rechargeable batteries can save you money and greatly reduce the number of batteries you need to dispose of.
What else can I help you with?
Where to purchase battery boosters?
Booster batteries are the batteries that you use when you want to jump start a car. Regular alkaline batteries are the kind that you put in a flashlight or your TV remote. The alkaline battery is way cheaper than a booster battery.
How can batteries affect human health?
They don't effect health unless they are disposed of in a wrong way.
Why it is detrimental to the environment and humans if batteries are not disposed of in a responsible way?
It is detrimental to the environment and humans if batteries are not disposed of in a responsible way because it can cause pollution. This pollution can kill plants and animals that humans rely on.
Should Alkaline batteries regular trash?
According to the health codes and the danger of throwing batteries away, you should recycle ALL batteries. From AAA all the way to you car battery should be recycled.
How can I be sure that a package of batteries in a store is new enough to last and hasn't been sitting there forever?
There is no specific way to insure that batteries are new and are going to last. Avoid batteries that are labeled heavy duty. Alkaline batteries perform better and last much longer. Rechargeable batteries are also an option.
What is the proper way to dispose of used batteries?
To get rid of used batteries contact your waste management company. They'll send over a special collection crew to dispose of batteries.
Why is it important to dispose of batteries in a certain way?
According to various government agency websites (National Forest Service, City of Chicago) regular batteries are not considered hazardous waste and can be discarded in the regular trash. That includes alkaline, manganese, and carbon-zinc batteries. The reason alkaline batteries were classified as hazardous was due to the mercury content. Mercury has been phased out in those batteries, so they are no longer an issue. Rechargeable batteries (Ni-CD) and lithium and button batteries could still be recycled, but places to drop them off might not be available in your area.Automotive lead acid batteries cannot be sent to landfills.Other thoughts on the subject:Because they polute the soil and don't disintegrate. Use rechargeable batterys to prevent polution.Because when the people proses the garbage using big machines to squish the garbage the gas of the battery will leak and so thing horrible will happen.
What is the color of alkaline pyrogallol solution?
It's colourless. When it absorbs oxygen from the air, it turns purple. It can be used in this way to calculate the amount of oxygen in air. colourless → + oxygen → purple (just an example, not a proper format)
Can alkaline batteries be recharged?
NO! Please do not attempt this.Unless a battery/cell of any type is specifically listed as being rechargeable, do not attempt to recharge. Nonchargeable batteries of all types which are subjected to abnormal charging can out gas hydrogen. If this gas is allowed to build up to about 30% concentration within the cell casing or a battery case, all that is needed for an explosion or fire is a small electrostatic spark. The warnings on these batteries are for real.Now, if you have a rechargeable battery, make sure you are using the correct charger and you follow directions. Otherwise you may end up with the same result. Warnings about not mixing old new batteries in one device are also a big problem. There are many technical reasons for this. Suffice it to say, read and follow the warnings.As battery technology continues to improve with higher and higher power densities, the danger of fire and explosion also increases. Maybe you've heard about cell phone explosions or laptop fires.This is not urban legend.
Which way do the batteries go in the remote?
The same way any batteries go into anything. lol. Put the - on the springy part lol
Is there 32 AA batteries in a 6 volt battery?
No, a standard alkaline or Ni-Cd AA battery puts out 1.5 volts, so 32 or them would put out 48 volts. A 6 volt battery would be equal to 4 AA batteries. however, Ni-Mh (nickel-metal hydride) batteries put out 1.2 volts, but with a much higher current than alkaline or Ni-Cad. Based on the weight, i would say that 4 high-powered D Cell batteries were involved. i remember the weight and it sounds right. the only way to find out is to crack open that aluminum casing. there is a seam along 1 side and if you pry it open, it will reveal those cells.
What is an ultracapacitor and what does it do?
The ultracapacitor is a new way of storing electric energy that will eclipse chemical batteries in the near future. Instead of storing energy electrochemically, it stores it in an electric field. Ultracapacitors have multiple advantages over conventional batteries, including a lifetime of over 10 years, resistance to changes in temperature, shock, overcharging, and discharging efficiency. They require less maintenance than conventional batteries and are light on the environment when disposed because they lack toxic chemicals. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-ultracapacitors.htm
