Useful, and timely, information on battery disposal

If you have ever questioned... How should I dispose of Lithium Ion batteries?

... the following useful, and timely, information from our US suppliers email support will answer your query... (and I quote)...

"Lithium ion batteries, like all rechargeable batteries are recyclable and should be recycled. They should never be incinerated since they might explode. Most places that sell rechargeable batteries will also accept them back for recycling."

Just by following these simple rules you are adding another string to your recycling bow... and helping the environment.

What's new at all-battery.com?

One item of note is the LED flashlights mentioned in this quote from their mailings...

"New Luxeon LED flashlights released this week. All support rechargeable batteries. It has the brightness and range of an incandescent bulb, plus 50,000 hours life time. With its machined aluminum construction and virtually unbreakable polycarbonate lens, it’s incredibly durable."

Other items of note are the sale items, plus the fact that, if you order and then write a review [presumably complimentary!] of the goods and service you received, you can get a gift certificate.

Factory direct super sale of rechargeable batteries and chargers at 50-80% the retail price. Large selection, huge savings, and speedy service.

Why not try them now, whilst these offers are still current?

Digital photography... and digital camera batteries

Digital cameras are improving at an exponential rate, and the battery performance is expected to improve in the near future.

Digital photography is becoming more and more popular, and the results obtained by professionals and amateurs alike are becoming comparable to those obtained by the best of film photographers.

The one downside to using a digital camera has been the battery life obtained.

What can you do as an amateur to extend battery life?

The easiest tip is to have some spare batteries. If you have a digital camera which uses plain alkaline standard size batteries, you can use rechargeable batteries AND carry some standard batteries with you as a backup.

Remember that rechargable batteries are ecologically friendly!

If your camera has its own rechargeable battery pack... buy an extra pack as a spare. [Please see our previous articles for storage and charging information.]

Erasing poor photographs to free up memory space uses power... a better solution is to keep an extra memory card with you.

Don't mix the different types of battery with each other... so keep NiMH, Lithium ion, and alkaline batteries separate.

Please see the following useful link for research and further information ... Google Scholar.

Should you be searching for hard to find specialist batteries I have found the ideal solution at MDS Batteries and with next day delivery you won't be kept waiting long!
