Our Battery Products

Alkaline Batteries:
Alkaline batteries are the most popular type of single-use battery. The cheapest category of battery, these non-rechargeable batteries maintain a consistent discharge throughout their lifetime, leading to reliable performance. While convenient, the disposable nature of alkaline batteries means that they are not an environmentally friendly option.

NiMH Batteries:
NiMH batteries were the first rechargeable batteries to be developed. This ability is an advantage in terms of efficiency and financial impact. However, NiMH batteries can take a long time to charge, and the more times they have been recharged, the less power they produce.

Lithium Ion Batteries:
Lithium-ion batteries are a newer development in rechargeable batteries and have become commonly used in laptops and phones. More expensive than NiMH at the point of purchase, the number of possible recharges means that they will save money over time. Quick charging and more consistent power output throughout their lifetime also contribute to the popularity of lithium batteries.

Different Sizes of Batteries:
The different sizes of batteries are based on the device in which they are being used, both in terms of physical size and the power required. Rechargeable batteries in consumer electronic products are designed with the size and shape of the specific device in mind. Replaceable batteries are usually cylindrical and come in sizes named AAA, AA, C, and D.

'Standard' Batteries:
Disposable alkaline versions - almost used in most types of consumer electronic devices.

Rechargeable Batteries:
Rechargeable batteries are extremely commonplace these days. For convenience and long-term cost-effectiveness, it's hard to beat rechargeable batteries in many day-to-day uses. We also sell them bundled together with a charger or indeed the requisite chargers sold separately.

Where to Dispose of Batteries:
Batteries should not be disposed of with normal rubbish that is headed to landfill, as their chemical contents can enter the ecosystem. Ideally, recycle your batteries so that they can be disposed of in a way which minimizes the effect on the environment. Never throw batteries into a fire, as they can leak or break open.

How to Recycle Batteries:
Batteries can be recycled by depositing them at a dedicated collection point. Check your local recycling centre, along with many supermarkets and DIY stores which have battery recycling bins. Recycling batteries is important to prevent harmful chemicals from entering the environment and to avoid waste of valuable raw materials that can be used again. Battery recycling facilities use physical or chemical processes to separate the metals from the discharged battery so that they can be used in the production of new products.
