If you use a lot of batteries, the long term benefit could be very good. If not, you need to weigh the cost because rechargeable batteries are very expensive and can take a while to recoup your investment.
Rechargeable batteries can range anywhere from $9 to $30 depending on the voltage and quantity of batteries. I find Duracell makes the most cost effective purchase for rechargeable batteries. Rechargeable batteries can last you about 2-3 years.
You can purchase rechargeable batteries pretty much anywhere. This is because they are becoming easier to use and a better economical choice for the world.
You can buy AAA rechargeable batteries and their appropriate chargers online at places like Wal-Mart and Amazon. You can also buy them from All Batteries. The batteries average $12 to $13.
GP NIMH batteries are popularly formatted and created in Hong Kong. They are a type of rechargeable battery, and can be found from sellers like the company Sanyo.
Yes, there are big environmental benefits to using rechargeable batteries, especially that there won't be as much toxic materials in waste dumps, because it cuts down on the number of batteries throw away. Rechargeable batteries are extremely environmentally friendly, because they cut down on the number of batteries disposed of each year.
Presumably you're talking about the battery. Lithium batteries are "primary batteries"; that is, they're not rechargeable. Lithium ion batteries are rechargeable, and are therefore a much better choice for a cell phone.
Primary batteries are used once, then discarded. They have the advantage of convenience and cost less per battery, with the down side of costing more over the long term. Generally, primary batteries have a higher capacity and initial voltage than rechargeable batteries, and a sloping discharge curve . Most primary batteries do not presently require special disposal.
How much do you want to spend?
Don't understand what you mean by "exchangeable". Pretty much all batteries should be properly recycled. Best environmental choice is rechargeable batteries.
Ni-cad batteries first became popular as portable rechargeable batteries. The "regular batteries" used in cars are mostly lead-acid rechargeable batteries. The "regular batteries" used in toys, remote controls, flashlights and such, are mostly the non-rechargeable types. Ni-cad batteries use nickel and cadmium. The latter is a toxic substance, difficult to dispose of, and ni-cad batteries have a nasty tendency to lose capacity (the "memory" effect). For that and other reasons, makers of lightweight rechargeable batteries have switched to using nickel-metal-hydride or lithium batteries. (Lithium-metal = explosive, lithium-ion = very popular, lithium-polymer = extremely lightweight, lithium-iron-phosphate = next generation for hybrid and electric cars.) The Prius Hybrid uses nickel-metal-hydride battery cells. When weight or size is not as much of a concern, lead-acid batteries are used due to their lower cost. Most automobiles and many industrial uninterruptable power supplies use lead-acid batteries, which are capable of providing several hundred amperes of current for a short time. Ni-cad batteries are rechargeable, regular are not rechargeable.
Yes. There are many different kind of television remotes that are rechargeable. Rather knew to our generation but still fun to save so much on batteries.
