Press Release Summary = Are you concerned about what happens to old batteries?
Battery recylcing is a very important part of a batteries life cycle.

Press Release Body = Power or energy is very important to run any machine,
appliance, or gadgets. You should know that in modern times battery recyling is an
important part of our energy processes. See -
http://batteryrecycling.informationvalet.com This power is provided by (mainly),
either chemical or electrical energy. And battery is a sort of device that supplies
this power.
Battery is actually an electrochemical tool, with voltaic cells, which provides
power by converting chemical energy into electrical energy.

A battery is generally cylindrical in shape with two terminals, one positive
electrode and one negative electrode that conduct electricity along with a substance
called electrolyte, that works on the electrodes, chemically and help convert into
electrical energy. There is a copper wire that connects the two electrodes.
Materials that are used in batteries are carbon, alkaline, chlorine, lithium ion,
lead, nickel, sodium, silicon, copper, etc.

Batteries are classified into two- Dry cells and wet cells. The wet cell batteries
are also termed storage battery as they can be recharged as many times as possible.
Batteries are also divided as rechargeable and non-rechargeable or disposable
batteries. The second type is again termed as primary cells, used till the chemical
that produce the electrical current supply is fully consumed, at which point the
battery is not needed anymore. These types of batteries are used very commonly in
small and portable piece of equipments that drain low current.

The other type is rechargeable or in other words secondary cells that can be
"refueled" even after being completely consumed. For recharging, these batteries
need some external help from devices as chargers or re-chargers.

In the present world due to the development of science and technology almost
everything (papers, plastics, batteries, aluminum, etc.) can be recycled without
wasting it by just throwing it after use. Thus we see that recycling is a procedure
by which waste products are recovered for reusing, which is also known as waste
management.

Battery recycling falls under electronic waste or e-waste. Here any discarded,
broken or unwanted electrical or electronic equipments, containing toxic materials
are recycled for further use. Batteries like, nickel-cadmium, lead, lithium
batteries are made to reuse as the chemicals present in them can cause harm to the
environment if allowed to stay long in open air after being discarded by the users.
Moreover batteries are regarded as the most expensive energy source and their
production requires much valuable recourse, so they are recycled so as to restore
those valuable materials from those old and used batteries through battery recyling.

Cadmium is a heavy metal and can cause pollution if burned or cremated. To avoid
lead pollution lead-aced batteries are processed. This program is considered to be
highly successful. Lithium-ion can be very dangerous if exposed to high temperature
or sunlight, it can ignite or explode. Therefore battery recycling is a must if we
want to protect our environment. More information at See -
