| RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES |
 |
With rechargeable batteries the chemical process whereas electrons move during discharge from the negative to the positive pole can be reversed, allowing them to be used over and over again . When they are depleted, you need power and a charger to recharge them.
Charged batteries immediately start losing their capacity due to electrons floating back to their original place. After about 2-3 months -depending on temperature- the batteries will be depleted again. This effect is called self-discharge. It is therefore not really recommended to use the batteries for appliances with low energy requirements, such as a remote control or a clock, or for appliances that are not used very often such as smoke detectors or pocket torches. In those cases, the energy lost through self-discharge is greater than the energy actually consumed. An exception to this phenomenon are our Infinium batteries which keep up to 85% of the charged capacity until 1 year after being charged.
