Rechargeable battery technology has come on in leaps and bounds during the last 5-10 years, so there is now no reason to use single-use (disposable) batteries for the vast majority of applications. Pretty much anything powered by AA, AAA, or a 9V battery is suitable for rechargeables and their use saves money and reduces the amount of waste going to landfill.
In this article we will have a look at the most popular products in the UniRoss range of high quality rechargeable batteries and battery chargers.

Pictured above are the AA (2,100 mAh), AAA (800 mAh), and 9 Volt (200 mAh) Longlife Hybrio rechargeable batteries from UniRoss. These batteries are designed to be recharged up to 1,000 times, and a UniRoss commissioned study has shown that their rechargeable batteries have up to 32 times less environmental impact than disposable batteries.
The cardboard packaging used is 100% recycled and 100% recyclable.
From the same range are also available C and D sized cells, however we would not recommend these. In both cases the battery capacity is 2,100 mAh - i.e. exactly the same as that of the far smaller AA cells. This is because UniRoss (like many other manufacturers) choose to make C and D cells simply by padding out their AA cells with additional material (and then charge twice as much for them!).
