Multipurpose Batteries & Power

What Are the Benefits of Rechargeable Multipurpose Batteries?

One of the main advantages of using rechargeable multipurpose batteries is that they last much longer than their single-use counterparts. This makes them budget- and eco-friendly, thanks to the fact that you do not need to purchase new batteries as often and do not consume as much energy. You also reduce your waste production, as your old single-use batteries do not end up in the landfill. 

How Do You Choose the Right Battery Charger?

The first step in selecting the ideal battery charger for your needs is determining which type of battery you frequently use. Most chargers are only compatible with certain battery sizes, such as AA or 12-volt batteries. If you have a variety of different battery types, then you may want to consider a universal charger that can power up all your alkaline batteries. There are also different methods of charging. While a fast charger can quickly charge laptop batteries, a timer-based charger gradually releases a low current supply of power to cell phone and digital camera batteries. This is why it is important to determine which devices you will be recharging prior to purchasing your new battery charger. 

What Is a Surge Protector?

A surge protector safeguards devices by preventing electrical surges that can cause costly damage, such as burnt wiring or loss of data. Protectors do this by blocking or channeling excess voltage into the grounding wire, only supplying the device with the power it needs to function. When a power outage occurs the surge protector is there to level out the voltage when the electrical connection is restored.
