	SCADPlus: Disposal of spent batteries and accumulators
		Corrigendum to Directive 2006/66/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 September 2006 on batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators and repealing Directive 91/157/EEC [Official Journal L 339 of 6.12.2006].
		Batteries of the "button" type or those composed of elements of the "button" type are excluded from the scope of the Directives.
		The Directives also require that batteries and accumulators, or the appliances in which they are incorporated, be marked in such a way as to indicate separate collection and recycling requirements and heavy-metal content.

	Apple - Batteries
		As with other rechargeable batteries, you may eventually need to replace your battery.
		Battery lifespan means the total amount of time your battery will last before it must be replaced.
		For instance, if your iPod were powered by four AA alkaline batteries and you used one pack per week (which is conservative), after two years you would have spent over $200 (buying in bulk) and piled up 400 dead batteries for your local recycling center.

	Environment - Title
		Community legislation on batteries applies to all batteries (exception: batteries used in equipment connected with the protection of Member States' essential security interest and batteries in equipment designed to be sent to space).
		The Directive aims at minimising the negative impacts of batteries and accumulators on the environment and also harmonising requirements for the smooth functioning of the internal market.
		The Directive sets out minimum rules for producer responsibility and provisions with regard to labelling of batteries and their removability from equipment.

		A heatproof battery for laptops, which could help solve recent problems with overheating, is to be mass produced by Japanese firm Matsushita.
		Matsushita Battery Industrial, a subsidiary of Matsushita, said that it has improved the safety of its lithium ion batteries by adding a heat resistance layer of insulating metal oxide on the surface of the electrodes.
		All battery manufacturers are under pressure to develop safer batteries.

		Although such storage in an electrostatic form is practical in some specialized uses, batteries usually consist of electrochemical devices such as one or more galvanic cells or more recently fuel cells, and may in the future use other technologies.
		There is some evidence—in the form of the Baghdad Batteries from sometime between 250 BC and 640 AD—of galvanic cells having been used in ancient times to electroplate base metal objects with a precious metal.
		This battery is notable in that it contains a liquid in an unsealed container, requiring that the battery be kept upright and the area be well-ventilated to deal with the explosive oxygen and hydrogen gases which are vented by these batteries during overcharging.

		The versatility of batteries is reflected in the different sizes and shapes, but all batteries have two common elements that combine to make power: an electrolyte and a heavy metal.
		Batteries contain heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, and nickel, which can contaminate the environment when batteries are improperly disposed of.
		Battery labels must include the battery chemistry, the "three chasing arrows" symbol, and a phrase indicating that the user must recycle or dispose of the battery properly.

	Electrochemistry Encyclopedia --- Nonrechargeable batteries
		The batteries most in use then were so-called wet cells, electrodes in a ceramic or glass jar with liquid electrolyte.
		Many of these batteries were stacks of flat, rectangular cells, (Figure 4), each consisting of a zinc piece (the anode), a coated paper separator to place between the zinc and the manganese-dioxide mixture, the mixture of manganese-dioxide ore, graphite and the usual Leclanche solution (an aqueous solution of ammonium-chloride salt and zinc-chloride salt).
		Another important class of batteries is the system where the oxygen in the air is used as a depolarizer for the cell.

	Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - DC Battery Specialists
		The positive terminals of all batteries are connected together, or to a common conductor, and all negative terminals are connected in the same manner.
		During overcharging, excessive current causes the oxides on the plates of the battery to "shed" and precipitate to the bottom of the cell and also heat the battery, thus removing water from the electrolyte.
		Sealed AGM batteries should be brought to 2.35 volts per cell and then discharged to 1.75 volts per cell and their this process must be repeated until the capacity returns to the battery.

		This design allows the battery to give up a large amount of power in a short period of time and also allows it to be recharged rapidly at a heavy rate.
		These are the batteries to be used in 'house' or 'domestic' applications as they can withstand 700 to 800 deep cycles (or more depending on size and type) before they need replacing.
		The gassing threshold is reached at a lower voltage when the batteries are hotter, and it is reached at a higher voltage when the batteries are colder.

	Digital Imaging Accessories Review: The Great Battery Shootout
		Because these batteries showed such variable performance through their relatively short lives, I chose to put them fairly low on the chart, located at the point they'd reached at the end of my testing.
		Thus, even if a manufacturer tests and reports their batteries' capacities truthfully according to the accepted standard, the resulting numbers may have little to do with how well the batteries perform in real-world digicam usage.
		I soldered all the high-current connections, with the exception of those between the batteries and battery holder, and those I clamped to reduce resistance and improve consistency.

		Given the high power consumption of digital cameras, it is economically and environmentally unjustified to use disposable batteries other than in emergency situations when your rechargeables are depleted.
		Fully charged batteries will gradually lose their charge, even when not used.
		Doing so will also increase the life span of the battery which is determined by the number of "charge-discharge" cycles that depends on the type and brand.
