Uniross Rechargeable Batteries And Chargers
Find out more about the Uniross range of rechargeable batteries and battery chargers
storage | shopping | energy efficiencyRechargeable battery technology has come on in leaps and bounds during the last 5-10 years, so there is now no reason to use single-use (disposable) batteries for the vast majority of applications. Pretty much anything powered by AA, AAA, or a 9V battery is suitable for
rechargeables and their use
saves money and reduces the amount of waste going to landfill.
In this article we will have a look at the most popular products in the
UniRoss range of high quality rechargeable batteries and battery chargers.
UniRoss Rechargeable Batteries
Pictured above are the
AA (2,100 mAh),
AAA (800 mAh), and
9 Volt (200 mAh)
Longlife Hybrio rechargeable batteries from UniRoss. These batteries are designed to be recharged up to 1,000 times, and a UniRoss commissioned study has shown that their rechargeable batteries have up to
32 times less environmental impact than disposable batteries.
The cardboard packaging used is
100% recycled and
100% recyclable.
From the same range are also available
C and
D sized cells, however we would not recommend these. In both cases the battery capacity is
2,100 mAh - i.e.
exactly the same as that of the far smaller AA cells. This is because UniRoss (like many other manufacturers) choose to make C and D cells simply by padding out their AA cells with additional material (and then charge twice as much for them!).

real C and D Sized Rechargeable Batteries, and
adapters which enable your AA rechargeable batteries to be used in place of C or D sized batteries.

three hours, is also provided with in-car charging. A pack of four of the
