Motorola Batteries - manufacturers are encouraged to undertake battery recycling programs

A battery is the fuel of your cell. No matter how advanced your cell phone may be if it’s not supported by a reliable power source, it will all be a waste. Known as the brand that is rugged and long lasting, Motorola batteries are various in nature and efforts are on to encourage manufacturers to undertake cell phone battery recycling programs.

The three main types of batteries that Motorola manufacturers are:

• Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd)
• Nickel metal Hydride (NiMH)
• Lithium ion (Li-Ion)

Of these, the first is the cheapest but most susceptible to memory effect; the natural inclinations to forget its actual capacity, while Li-Ion is expensive, but has a very long life cycle and performs extremely well. Due to the chemicals present in any and all types of batteries, Motorola takes an active stand in trying to recycle as much as possible the used cellular phone battery.

Proper handling and recycling of used batteries is essential as otherwise there is a high chance for the chemicals to leak out. In their drive to recycle the battery, Motorola has started two free of charge options that one can use if they are interested to recycle these cellular parts.

A user can make use of this by either mailing the used piece directly to the organization INMETCO or by getting in touch with the recycling NGO, RBRC (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation). The concept is picking up and everyone hopes to see every cell phone being recycled to the maximum limit possible.
