One Man Banned Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Before sending them away check your local household recycling centre Our's (Gloucester County) have taken batteries for over a year now and I have been quite good at using the rechargeables I use UniRoss Rechargable 700mAh and they work just fine in hgh drain items like cameras and things - I also use them in a speaker system for the MP3 and Laptop. We use an old plastic takeaway carton to store them in and take them to the recycling centre when we go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
