Batteries

Batteries and the Environment

Every year billions of conventional dry cell batteries are used and then thrown away. The recycling of such waste is not only expensive but often incomplete, resulting in hazardous pollution and damage to our environment.

As alternatives consider the use of self sufficent products (which can be powered by hand winding, a solar panel or even water power) or use a solar powered battery charger.

If you continue to use some batteries, as most of us will, it is now possible to extend the life of normal lead acid batteries with the Souvenir Cranwell Battery Regenerator.
