Nickel Cadmium batteries must be recycled. Call 1-800-8-BATTERY or visit www.rbrc.com too find the recycling centers or participating national retailers.

There are currently no restrictions on the disposal of Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries.

The Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC) recycles the following portable rechargeable battery chemistries:

Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd)
Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH)
Lithium Ion (Li-ion)
Small Sealed Lead (Pb)*
* weighing less than 2 lbs./1 kg.

These batteries are commonly found in cordless power tools, cellular and cordless phones, laptop computers, camcorders, digital cameras, and remote control toys.

No, however if using a Nickel Cadmium charger to charge Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries, charging should be monitored to avoid overcharging.

Memory Effect on a battery is the loss off run time per charge over the life of the battery. To avoid Memory Effect and attain maximum performance discharge battery completely each use.

Nickel-Metal Hydride has no Memory Effect and can be charged or topped-off at any time without affecting battery life.

Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries provide up to 200% more power than Nickel Cadmium (Ni-CD) rechargeable batteries, will significantly outperform alkaline batteries, in most digital applications and will greatly outperform Ni-CD batteries in high-drain applications.

Ni-MH batteries have a rechargeable life of up to 1000 cycles, 25% more than Ni-CD.

Ni-MH batteries have no Cadmium added. Cadmium is hazardous to the environment.

Very economical batteries that can be reused approximately 1,000 times.

You can recharge them approximately 1,000 times and the per-unit cost is approximately 4 JPY.In addition, end-of-life eneloop batteries can be recycled and they are thus really environmentally friendly next-generation batteries
