The first couple months of the year is the perfect time to establish new habits and routines. If
one of your goals this year is to be more sustainable and eco-friendly in all areas of your life
then we can help. This blog post is all about how to choose the most sustainable batteries
that suit your needs. Whether you’re a professional needing batteries for your business, or
you’re someone that relies on batteries for your home, hobbies, or interests, we have you
covered.

Below are some of our best advice on how to make more sustainable choices when it comes
to purchasing batteries. We’ve included some examples too!

Choose an eco-friendly metal

Certain types of batteries are more eco-friendly than others. There are three main types of
rechargeable batteries, and they are: Nickel metal hydride (NiMH) the most common of
rechargeable batteries, Nickel cadmium (NiCd) the original rechargeable not sold at very
many places nowadays, and Lithium-ion (Li-ion) which are mainly battery packs for use in
cameras and electrical equipment. Each of these batteries have their pros and cons but in
terms of sustainability, NiCd batteries aren’t a good option.

NiMH and Li-ion batteries are generally longer lasting, more powerful, and environmentally
friendly. It’s best to choose one of these if you’re looking to be more sustainable, and in
general. At BuyaBattery we have a wide range of NiMH, Li-ion, and alkaline batteries
available.

Start bulk buying

If you’re a business professional then you'll already be buying your batteries in bulk. But if
you’re someone that uses a lot of batteries, and you haven’t yet started buying in bulk, now
could be the right time to start! Bulk buying is very good for the environment as you’re saving
on packaging. At BuyaBattery, we have a wide range of quantities available to buy in bulk.
If you do find yourself going through a good amount of batteries then you could start bulk
buying every so often to cut down on packaging and help improve your carbon footprint.

Use long lasting batteries

One of the many benefits of longer lasting batteries is that they’re great for the environment!
The more life a battery has the longer it will last and the less you’ll have to buy more
replacements. This saves on packaging and also reduces the amount of batteries you bin.
Our Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries are a great example of long lasting batteries.
They’re a great choice for a range of devices and have a very long shelf life of 20 years.

Plastic free packaging

Purchasing batteries that come in plastic-free packaging is a great way to be more
environmentally conscious. We’re proud to stock a wide range of Panasonic Eneloop
batteries that now come in plastic-free packaging in order to help save the planet. Why not
try these batteries to kick start your 2023 on a sustainable note?
