Green Rechargeable Batteries

There are innumerable gadgets and devices which use batteries. While many of the newer devices have solar panels as back-ups and at times you can use solar or hand cranking chargers, are you aware of the fact that rechargeable batteries can also be an eco-friendly alternative? When you use rechargeable batteries instead of disposable ones, you are already being environmentally friendly because rechargeable batteries can be used for long periods of time.

You can get even greener: Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) are more eco-friendly than the normal NiCd batteries simply because they do not use cadmium which is extremely toxic to the environment. The alloy in NiMH rechargeable batteries which replaces cadmium is usually composed of different elements, including lanthanum, cerium, neodymium, praseodymium, cobalt, manganese, and/or aluminum. This is less toxic than cadmium.

These batteries are available in different sizes to suit your needs. They are also available in various types so that you can use the high power ones for devices which need a higher power and the lower power ones which are great for devices which last a long time like remotes, clocks and the like.
