Solar Batt Charger
Rechargeable batteries are supposedly better for consumers as they save money in the long run, as well as save Mother Nature the trouble of having to absorb battery acid into the soil. It actually does sound too good to be true as it really isn’t just about not having to throw batteries away. Remember that rechargeable batteries cost much more money than their disposable counterparts. Also, they take time and energy to recharge. Finally, they actually need specific charging devices to get them juiced back up. Another thing to remember is that most rechargeables available in the market are either device-specific batteries or AA batteries.
Now think about the electricity you use to recharge your batteries in the first place. That electricity is coming from power plants that still mostly use either fossil fuels or nuclear power. Considering this fact, can you still say if it is eco-friendly to use rechargeable batteries?
Of course, rechargeable batteries need to be constantly charged up in order to keep them from going flat and useless. If you are concerned about how you charge your batteries, then the ReNEW solar battery charger is definitely for you. With an easy insertion system that lets you drop your batteries through the slot on the top, and then drop out the bottom upon being fully charged. It has a solar panel that collects power from the sun to charge your batteries back up, which lets you save even more money and help you conserve the environment by using the renewable power from the sun. For batteries that you would be using in your gadgets, it is definitely not a bad idea at all.
The ReNEW solar battery charger is still a concept, sadly enough. However, once it does come out for the mainstream market, then it is definitely an eco-friendly way to charge your batteries. The device can be put on either a table or put up against the window with suction cups to catch as much sunlight as possible.
