The Eneloop Batteries are rechargable batteries with a difference, they are pre-charged ready for use and maintain a charge for a lot longer than conventional rechargable batteries. The Eneloop Batteries have recently been improved to allow them to last longer, retain charge for years and to use eco-friendly energy for the pre-charge.

The Eneloop Rechargeable Batteries have been created by Sanyo. They are the first of their type in the industry to be pre-charged, allowing you to use them right out of the packet. They achieve this due to their ability to stay charged for years, an improved Eneloop battery will retain 75% of it charge after being stored for up to 3 years. This allows you to be to able to charge your batteries once drained and leave them charged for use without worrying about their charge levels, helping to prevent unneeded energy top ups.

The improved Eneloop batteries can be recharged roughly 1500 times, helping to extend their useful life significantly. The batteries are pre-charged through electricity from solar power, helping to add an additional green benefit to them.  The Eneloop Rechargeable Batteries help you to use battery powered devices with increased peace of mind. They achieve this by staying charged which helps to conserve energy needed to ensure working batteries, having a long life of use, and through using solar power for their pre-charge.

This Eneloop Battery Charger with Rechargeable Batteries is yours for just $30.99 and qualifies for free shipping too.

This conceptual mobile phone designed by Daizi Zheng aims to replace conventional mobile batteries with an eco friendly version. It was designed for Nokia as a phone battery that is cheaper to produce, uses less resources in its production and its life time of use, while also being able to be disposed of in an environmental manner.

The proposition is that it is possible to power a phone from a carbohydrate, in this case sugar which can be found in high levels in many drinks. The interaction of enzymes with the carbohydrate generates power through an electrochemical reaction. The Eco Friendly Mobile Phone should only produce oxygen and water, as a byproduct of the reaction, which can then be poured out of the battery and down a drain once the phone battery has finally run out of charge. It is hoped that charging a phone this way would give a longer lasting charge time, predicted to be 3 to 4 times the length of charging a normal mobile battery. The designer hopes that this type of battery would be fully biodegradable.

Mobile phones normally run from a lithium battery. It is well documented that producing these batteries, charging them and then disposing of them produces quite a high quantity of pollution into the environment. Unfortunately the manufacturing of many drinks have their own negative environmental impact, from the production of the drink to the issues that arise from the drinks bottles and cans especially when these are not recycled.

By using left over bits of drink the impact is minimized to some extent. This design may well run from sugar dissolved in water which would also lessen the impact somewhat. The problem of disposing lithium batteries is rather serious, coupled with charging the battery from mains power for its life then the negative impact of a conventional lithium phone battery is quite high. Though there are a few unconsidered issues with this ‘eco friendly’ battery it is certainly a step in the right direction.

Fuji have released a new battery product called the Fuji EnviroMax Eco-Respectful Batteries. The batteries have been designed to be equivalent or better in performance compared to conventional batteries, but being 100% eco-friendly. The batteries contain no harmful mercury or cadmium compounds, nor are they packaged in harmful and non-recyclable PVC. Essentially, if they were disposed of in normal waste systems, they wouldn’t harm the environment.

It’s about time that someone re-designed batteries to be more eco-friendly. Fuji are making a big deal of the fact that their manufacturing process does not release any ozone depleting compounds and they operate under strict standards of environmental responsibility.

The batteries are no more expensive than conventional batteries, and are available in all the standard sizes (AAA, AA, C, and D). You can get the batteries directly from Amazon.
