Jan. 29, 2009 - PRLog -- After haing a brand new battery from LaptopTraveller.com, it comes time to throw out your used batteries. If you are having a difficult time finding out what to do with used batteries and where you can take them to be recycled or safely treated and disposed, then you should find a solution here on this page.
What you can do for our environment

   * Never dispose of batteries in fire, as they could explode.
   * Remove worn-out batteries from equipment immediately and dispose of promptly.
   * Do not attempt to recharge a battery unless the battery specifically is marked "rechargeable". Dispose of it immediately.
   * Use rechargeable batteries and a battery charger. This saves energy because the energy needed to manufacture a battery is on average 50 times greater than the energy it gives out. However, rechargeable batteries are not suitable for smoke alarms as they tend to run out suddenly, preventing the alarm from warning when battery power is low.
   * Opt for appliances that can use power derived from the sun via solar panels or from a winding mechanism, e.g. radios, mobile phone wind-up chargers.
   * Seek guidance on how to dispose or recycle batteries from either the distributor who originally supplied the battery, the battery manufacturer or the appliance manufacturer.
