How to Feel Good About Wearing Out a Battery
The transition to separate electrical cables and sockets that began in the 1960s is intensifying. Starting with the upgrade to standard primary cells (disposable cells), the battery becomes smaller, lighter, and much more powerful.
During this time, the battery also made a quantum leap in terms of reliability. Reliability in this context means not only the possibility of inserting, removing and swapping batteries, but also removing the set of used cells and keeping the device in the state of the used device.
You see it with a rusty, brown, poisonous smell that eats away at everything it touches. This aspect is very expensive, considering the cost of replacing not only the battery but the entire device if not recognized in time.
If the primary cells are completely disposed of, they should be completely replaced and sent to your local landfill. The worn out cells deteriorate over time and are found in groundwater. State regulators turned to it and this toxic material was immediately banned from landfills. Mandatory recycling programs have been introduced to replace landfill activities.
Primary cells generate an enormous amount of waste during production and disposal and consume the same amount of resources. One cubic meter of a single-use battery could hypothetically power one hundred radio stations in one hundred hours. The cages are heavy and bulky and, even after being built, cause a lot of environmental pollution through transportation and processing as they consume dwindling fossil fuel reserves.
Rechargeable (secondary) batteries have made a big step forward in alleviating many of the problems mentioned above. The battery lasts an average of 500 cycles (charge and discharge). Yes, replacing primary batteries with rechargeable cells consumes about 0.5% of raw materials, 0.5% of logistics needs with appropriate waste reduction, and requires 0.5% of the resources required to recycle cells. Yes, recycling also has an impact on the environment, albeit a small part of the 'throw and go' mentality.
Further refinement of the battery chemistry used today has significantly increased uptime while reducing weight. Rechargeable batteries make up about half the weight of modern wireless power tools, so a 30% reduction in battery weight corresponds to an overall reduction of 15% across instruments. This reduction may not be obvious to someone who has never used a wireless device in overhead conditions, but that 15% can make a huge difference in productivity while reducing the chance of injury at work due to fatigue.
The increase in total output power per kilogram of generating cells goes hand in hand with a significant increase in the use of pre-assembled cells, i.e. sub-C battery cells, which are pre-configured and welded in a manufacturer-specific shape.
The pre-assembled cells are not easy to swap as they are fixed with protective screws (especially #10 Torx) and the cells are connected by industrial special side welders, which are not available to manufacturers or. The custom prepackaged restorer is not available to anyone.
When batteries were in their infancy, most cells, and many still have the same size, AA, C, and D cell nomenclature today, rechargeable only and in standalone chargers. The cells packaged today are mostly LIon 18650 or NiCd sub C. Neither of these cells is bought and sold at the local radio shack.
Therefore, today's prepackaged have taken a step back in terms of recycling friendliness. They have evolved from a single cell that is easily recyclable to a single package made of a variety of materials (including circuit boards for LIon), all with different recommended recycling methods.
However, this issue was recently addressed. Universal rechargeable battery kits are currently available which include all new internal components upgraded while reusing all connectors, housings etc. Starting with a non-destructive peat lock to the new floor C-cell and the last piece of insulating fish paper before replacing the top, all worn parts are replaced with new ones.
Battrx LLC uses a patented mechanical fastening system and pre-welded connectors to restore cells to their original shape. Detailed instructions are included with additional details on
