The 4 Best Eco-Friendly Batteries On Amazon

We are always on the lookout for any items that we regularly use that might not be eco-friendly or sustainable. It is about keeping a watch on the products that we use. We are constantly questioning ourselves if we are using the best version of this particular product possible. You eventually get good at it if you spend as much time as we do, researching the latest technologies to hit the market, to find the products that offer even the slightest degree of ecological savings. However, regardless of how many years you do this, there are some items that you can be blind towards. There are some products regarding which you can never realize that there are better options available.

Today we are going to introduce you to the possibility of using eco-friendly batteries. We are used to the concept of batteries being full of chemicals and disposable. Over the years, any progress in technology that enables reuse and greener use of batteries might escape our knowledge. Maybe this is the reason that over 15 billion alkaline batteries are made and thrown away each year. They cause the release of CO2 and the creation of toxic landfill that pollutes the land and water resources of the area for generations to come. We were shocked at the statistic and decided to take a step towards making a dent in that huge number.

So today we are going to look at eco-friendly batteries that reduce wastage through reuse and pollute less.

HITRENDS AA Batteries – USB Rechargeable Double-A Lithium BatteriesĀ 

These batteries can be charged with a single USB port which is built into them. All you have to do is unseat the cap and you are going to find the USB port which you can use to charge them. The batteries themselves are made approved by the FCC CE & RoHS and offer a full 1200mAH capacity. You can charge them for around 1000 cycles with an hour of charging time for every cycle. The product has been tested to not have the memory effect which means that you donā€™t have to worry about the batteries losing their charge over time. There is a C sized variant if you need the batteries to be run for any other devices.

BUMP AAA USB Rechargeable

These eco-friendly batteries are a little different. They donā€™t have a USB attachment built onto them. They instead have a micro USB slot on them, as you have on Android phones, where you need to connect a micro USB to USB cable to charge the battery. You can charge them for 1000 cycles and every cycle takes up to 90 minutes for a full charge. It comes with a special cord that allows for a 4 to 1 charging capability. That means you can charge the entire pack at once with one cable in one go. That is an amazing thoughtfulness to include that in the box. You donā€™t have to wait to charge and load the batteries one by one into your childrenā€™s favorite toys.

Huahui AA+AAA Batteries Rechargeable USB Lithium Batteries

So this product is a mixed bag – in the sense that you get a lot of different products in the bag! You get 2 AA batteries and 2 AAA batteries. The AA batteries have removable caps that hide the USB connection which you can use to charge them. The smaller AAA batteries have a micro USB port and can be charged using a 4 to 1 wire that comes in the box. Apart from this, you also get two converters that help convert the AAA battery to AA size which is really helpful.

There are a few other touches that make these eco-friendly batteries really thoughtful. It has a charging LED indicator that will tell you when the battery is done charging.

We are very impressed with the spec sheet which looks like it has worked around all the toxic limitations of older technologies. We love it when a company takes on the huge responsibility of researching technology to further a noble goal. 

Apart from the environmentally-conscious materials, the battery also features a 10-year shelf life, superb discharge curve, and strong leak tightness to prevent unwanted chemical discharge. Though these are not rechargeable, they are great if using a disposable battery is somehow your only option. We have highlighted this pack of 48 AA batteries and 48 AAA batteries.
