Batteries & Chargers

Rechargeable batteries are an ecological alternative to throwaway batteries because they can be recharged up to 1, 000 times and are much more powerful. The latest Ni-MH technology batteries not only outperform ordinary batteries, they are totally free of lead, mercury and other highly toxic elements.

• They save energy: you get 50 times more energy out of a rechargeable battery than it takes to make one - equivalent to 2,500 times more than for a disposable battery.

• They save waste: if you recharge your battery 500 times you save 499 other batteries being thrown away.

• They save money: you get the extra money you paid for the battery back after just five charges, so you get the equivalent of 495 charges for free.

The cost of recharging batteries is minimal - about 1p a time.

By choosing rechargeable batteries and recycling them at the end of their life, we can dramatically reduce the risk to the environment and save a small fortune!
