PFT #80 - How Rechargeable Batteries Power up Your Budget

When it comes to our finance tips, we haven’t covered reusable batteries as this seems like a no-brainer; and that exactly a case; however, sometimes we need a reminder.
Rechargeable batteries have been around since I was a kid in the 70’s and they juiced up my remote control cars and my giant dual tape deck boom box radio.

Now that we are in the 2020’s we still have an insatiable need for batteries for just about anything due to the advanced technology in our daily lives.

So let’s run through some stats on batteries with the most common type which are Single and double A.

When it comes to these rechargeable batteries they will cost more upfront; but the money that you save is far and away better than buying disposable batteries.

Disposables last longer for a one-time use; however, most rechargeable batteries have at least 1,000 - 2,000 charges before they expire.

The other factor is that in many states, the batteries are not recycled and therefore end up in a landfill. In fact, California considers them hazardous waste.
