Are these batteries recyclable or do I dispose in regular trash?

Good question, I don't have an official answer but my opinion is that they are not recyclable

You should send these out with electronic waste and not put them in the regular trash. The lithium cells, even more so than the alkaline cells, can leach some pretty nasty stuff into the landfill and water table.

I recycle mine but there are only certain areas that have those facilities, so you would have to check your local recycle depot.

There is no reason why they should not. I recall reading an article that suggests which type of battery to use. Rechargeable is best when the battery will be used more heavily. Alkaline when they will sit unused for long periods of time.

I'm not sure, but don't deposit used ones at plastic bag disposal locations.

Nowhere in the container does it say that they are rechargeable. Apparently they just disintegrate over time as they come in contact with ammonia.

I have had some batteries that I was able to recondition. Others didn't respond to recycling. I have had great success with eneloop batteries and plan on only purchasing them when I need more batteries. It's a great charger.

I'm not sure. I kept them just in case new batteries would work but haven't actually put in new batteries.

Yes is the easy answer, But... If you research general information on Lithium-Ion Batteries you will learn that Full Charge is not ideal for storage. So, if you can, take them out of the charger.

I've already tossed my battery in the recycle bin at our recycling area. Mine was US on outside but it was junk as others I've read about. My son-n-law bought 2 of these and one still is working but the other went boat anchor in less than a month of use.

There are low drain rechargeable batteries on the market. These hold their charge longer even when not in use. They are what I use and buy then off Ebay.

I use regular replaceable batteries and it has a little button you push to check them. But I don't see why you cant use rechargeable.

They are your standard rechargable AA batteries. You can find them at any home improvement center or hardware store.

My guess is that Mercury-free is simply safer. All else being equal, the used batteries that go into the landfill will not contain an environmental contaminant. Free Mercury in the environment is some bad stuff!

I've wondered the same thing. I don't think they are supposed to be reusable, but I can reuse them if I keep them clean.

No, they are not rechargeable batteries, they are regular batteries. I bought some Amazon brand rechargeable batteries, which are actually second generation Sanyo batteries, excellent batteries at a great price.

I think not using them for such a long time has killed the battery. I have left regular chargeable batteries sit for a long time and they would not charge either. I think regular use is the key.

These are fakes (most likely recycled laptop batteries)...one of the 8 I bought were dead, there is no circuit protection, and label contains a spelling error. If you want cheap cells, these are for you...just don't expect anything special.

These are NOT, repeat NOT, rechargeable batteries! I made the mistake of ordering. If you look carefully at the description, "rechargeable" is now where mentioned. AMAZON should NOT have listed them with rechargeable batteries. Quite a mistake!!
