Why use the Rechargeable Batteries
TODAY, THE POLLUTION CAUSED BY
BATTERIES IS ONE OF THE MOST PROBLEMATIC ASPECTS OF HOUSEHOLD WASTE
DISPOSAL.
They
contain a number of heavy metals (Aluminium - Cadmium - Mercury - Nickel -
Lead - Iron - Zinc - Calcium - Magnesium - Lithium), some of which are
highly toxic for humans, animals and plants. They pollute the soil and
poison ground water.
To avoid this, it is important to dispose of them in specially provided
recycling containers.
Using rechargeable batteries is also a viable environmental alternative to
disposable batteries, as they can be recharged up to 1000 times and are much
more powerful.
Opting for rechargeable batteries and recycling them at the end of their
life is a simple step that all eco-citizens can take to preserve the quality
of our environment.
The differences between disposable batteries and
rechargeable
There are two types of batteries:
- Those that are used once and then thrown away, also called disposable or
primary batteries (alkaline, saline, lithium...).
- Those that can be recharged, commonly known as rechargeable. Rechargeables
are sometimes referred to as secondary cells.
Since they can be reused hundreds of times, they produce far less waste.
Ni-MH do not contain the toxic chemicals that are found in older Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) Rechargeables.
