Frequently asked questions
Is this rechargeable like other EBL batteries?
No, this specific product is a non-rechargeable alkaline battery, unlike most of EBL's catalogue which focuses on NiMH and lithium rechargeables. Do not attempt to charge it in any battery charger, since alkaline cells can leak or rupture if charged.
What devices suit alkaline over rechargeable?
Low-drain devices used infrequently, such as remote controls, clocks and smoke detectors, where a single alkaline cell can last a year or more and the convenience of rechargeables offers less benefit.
Why choose disposable over rechargeable at all?
Lower upfront cost per battery and no need to own a charger, which suits occasional or backup use rather than devices drained daily.
How should I store unused batteries?
Somewhere cool and dry, away from metal objects that could short the terminals, and check the expiry date periodically if they sit unused for a long time.
