Frankly, I agree with you regarding prolonged use. I seem to have said the same thing as you. But reuse old batteries before recycling, why not, right?
I agree with you, indeed, if the batteries are already provided with .. as much use them once, see 2 or 3 .. But personally, I think I do not want to take this risk (burn to acid) to save a few batteries .. yet I'm fighting for the environment!
What I want to question .. It's all his ads that have seen on our French channels. The one which pronounces the use of batteries "which lasts up to 4 times longer" .. When you know a little about batteries, you realize that it is money that dominates in this mileu (as in other) and surely not the good sense of ecology .... (damage)
Today, technology allows us to use a battery about 1000 times, before throwing it away and severely polluting our planet. In addition, still thanks to our technology, we can afford to no longer use paid electricity (produced by nuclear or other ..) but to use sunlight (free for now!)
I will not talk in detail about the economic side of the thing .. the forum not having this subject, but when we know that the batteries can be used approximately 1000 times and that the lifespan of the solar chargers (which do not wear out) and many years.
You will quickly do the math.
To answer Renaud67, I encourage your friend to go as far as possible in his project. The Tune Charger seems to me to be a very good ambitious project. I allow myself to give you some advice (you see what you can do with it): it would be necessary to improve the aesthetics of the product, if possible, think of those who are not connected to electronics and DIY, and finally if possible, display more attractive prices. It's not easy .. but it's the market that wants that.
Good luck !
See you soon, everyone
