Imagine solar rechargeable batteries for all of our battery operated devices (including some solar powered lights). Hopefully soon we will be able to buy batteries that can be recharged by putting it in the sun with no other charging device needed. This would mean less batteries in landfills and greater long term use by users and especially those in third world countries who don't have access to power or have the means to be constantly buying batteries.
Genesis Electronics Group, Inc. announced that it has initiated steps for the development of solar rechargeable batteries in commonly used standard sizes such as AA, AAA, C, D and 9V, as well as other specialized sizes that have the potential for use by the military and scientific devices.
To quote Edward Dillon, president and CEO of Genesis Electronics, “These batteries, unlike other rechargeable batteries on the market, will not be dependent on a charging unit that you need to plug in or on a separate solar-powered charger. The batteries themselves would be rechargeable when exposed to the sun. Instead of throwing away dead batteries from a flashlight or other device, you will be able to put these on the window sill or on the porch and they will recharge.”
This technology of solar rechargeable batteries would save consumers money, and reduce hazardous waste in our landfills. Can't wait for them to be on the market.
