Eco-Friendly Battery Charging

The Problem

In certain countries, it is illegal to discard nickel-cadmium or small sealed lead acid rechargeable batteries or products containing such rechargeable batteries in the trash. The batteries must be recycled or sent to a facility permitted to dispose of those batteries.

Many lawmakers passed the prohibition because of growing concern over the effects of the toxic heavy metals cadmium and lead on public health and the environment. Cadmium and lead can enter the environment from several sources including solid waste landfills and municipal waste combustors. Once in the environment both can accumulate in food crops and edible fish as well as appear in drinking water and the air we breathe. In humans and animals, long term exposure to these metals can result in brain, lung and kidney damage and is suspected to cause cancer. Lead exposure is especially harmful to unborn and very young children and can result in premature birth, slow growth and decreased intelligence.

Batteries

Batteries contain sulfuric acid and lead. Both of these materials can damage the environment and pose a safety hazard if handled improperly.

The Dangers

About one-quarter of the average lead-acid battery is composed of sulfuric acid. Sulphuric acid is a corrosive liquid which can sterilize soils and cause severe burns to skin. Also, sulfuric acid mists are a suspected carcinogen.

Another two-thirds of the average battery is made up of lead or lead compounds. Lead, a heavy metal, can be fatal if ingested or absorbed through the skin. In the environment, lead does not degrade naturally and may accumulate, causing soil and water to become contaminated.
