Disposable batteries are notorious for being a real scourge for the environment. Indeed, according to the Brussels Environment Institute, the mercury contained in a button battery can contaminate more than 400 liters of water for 50 years . Unfortunately, many people do not know how to dispose of these batteries correctly and they often end up in the wrong place...
Rechargeable batteries are much better for the environment because they can be used a multitude of times before being recycled. For this, it is recommended to purchase a battery charger, but how do you choose the right device? TT-hardware takes stock!
A very useful tool
Having a battery charger on hand is ideal for devices you use regularly! If you are an inveterate gamer, using rechargeable batteries on your wireless PC mouse will save you from buying a lot of poor quality batteries... In addition, the rechargeable batteries are also environmentally friendly, you can recharge them a good hundred times !
How to choose well?
Don't hesitate to do some research beforehand on the different brands and characteristics of each. Very often, we find “charger + batteries” bundles at low prices, these bundles are often of poor quality and can end up damaging your rechargeable batteries in the long term. We recommend going to the website of a recommended distributor or to the website of a major electronics brand, by doing this you can be sure of having a quality device.
A good battery charger is often referred to as intelligent because it can detect a defective battery, overheating, but also “resuscitate” batteries at the end of their life. These chargers often have LEDs indicating the battery's charging status so you know when they are ready to use. There are also battery chargers that can handle more than fifteen batteries at a time, ideal for businesses or large families for example.
Charging batteries can take around 3 to 4 hours depending on the quality of your charger and the batteries. This is why it is important to choose a quality charger and batteries.
Remember to use your batteries the right way! As said above, we favor batteries to be recharged on the devices you use daily. We're thinking of the remote control for your new screen for the PS5 and many others!
Don't neglect the batteries
Having a quality battery charger is important, but there is no point having a smart battery charger if your rechargeable batteries are of poor quality. We recommend purchasing a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery, as they have good energy density. To know how long a rechargeable battery lasts, simply check how many mAh are in the battery, the larger the capacity (mAh), the longer the battery will last. You can find this information on the battery itself or on the packaging.
If you work from home and want to charge and recharge the batteries of your mouse, keyboard, stylus, etc. It is more than urgent to first acquire quality rechargeable batteries but also a good battery charger .
