Battery Regenerator

How does the Alkaline Battery Regenerator work? Single-use alkaline batteries use only a fraction of their potential, the rest left unusable. The main reason why alkaline batteries become discharged is the accumulation of impurities and foreign matter on and in the positive electrode and the coating of the active material with a scale or crust, which seriously impairs the efficient operation of cell. The Souvenir Cranwell Alkaline Battery Regenerator thoroughly yet gently cleans the internal electrodes over an average 72 hour period. This process is absolutely safe and does no damage to the battery. Nothing is added to the battery; it just releases the potential that is already there. One battery can be regenerated up to 100 times. Capacity of regenerated batteries depends on manufacturer, discharge and storage conditions. Power consumption of the Alkaline Battery Regenerator is very low and the cost of regeneration is less than a tenth of penny.

Which alkaline batteries can be regenerated? Tests show that most types of alkaline batteries can be regenerated and reused with up to 95% of their original capacity. This includes batteries from Duracell, Energizer and many supermarket "own brand" batteries. Some non-alkaline batteries can also be regenerated. For example Heavy Duty Single-Use batteries (Panasonic Special, Sky and etc) can be regenerated up to 60% of their original capacity. Titanium batteries (Energizer E2) can be regenerated up to 80% of their original capacity. What are the environmental benefits? Annually over 30,000 tons of single-use batteries are thrown out with the domestic rubbish in the UK. Only a tiny percentage of this volume is actually collected for recycling. What is more, there are no established facilities in the UK to effectively reprocess this unpleasant waste and collected batteries are shipped abroad. It is the consumer that pays for this costly exercise, in the high retail price of batteries.

Souvenir Cranwell’s solution can reduce the volume of waste many times over and presents considerable savings. The process of regenerating a single battery involves a cost of less than a tenth of a penny and a battery can be regenerated for as long as there is potential to be released. Their tests have shown that a single battery can be regenerated up to a hundred times and with each process the battery is returned to up to 95% of its original state. It should be stressed that this process DOES NOT recharge the battery. The battery regenerator does not put anything of substance into the battery; it just conditions the battery to allow the remaining power to be accessed. Special alkaline rechargeable batteries do exist but this process offers an alternative and enables the regenerating of normal un-rechargeable alkaline batteries.

How do you use the Alkaline Battery Regenerator? Simply insert up to four AA or AAA alkaline batteries (both sizes can be regenerated simultaneously) into the regenerator and plug into a mains power socket. When the regeneration process is complete (typically 72 hours) the LED indicator will go out. The device is completely safe against overcharge, overheat, short-circuit, and polarity reversal.
