Water batteries

Household batteries are considered to be one of the most toxic waste: heavy metals one used batteries pollute 4 square meters of soil and get into ground water, poisoning them as for the animals, and to humans. Rechargeable batteries — one way to reduce possible damage, but less harmless to the environment option has developed a Swiss company Aquacell, who presented a novelty — the battery with the water running. The new battery weighs only 12 grams, its body is made of recycled plastic, the top cover is unscrewed and inside was filled with water for 5 minutes, which causes electrolysis. Inside the battery is a carbon rod rolled zinc foil as the anode, a paper separator between the anode and the powder.





Dry the shelf life of the batteries is not limited to, wet paper separator activates the battery, which can be used as any standard AA battery. In addition to more environmentally friendly composition of batteries, it has a high percentage of materials to be recycled, reaching 85 %. Despite the fact that in Russia Aquacell batteries yet, however, already taken measures for the collection of your old batteries for safe disposal — one of these projects implements a network of shops of home appliances MediaMarkt, where can I take old batteries for recycling in Russia, in addition, some entrance doors have containers for collecting batteries and accumulators.
