Inside the Box: How We Package Batteries for Safe Shipping

Posted on July 21, 2023 by

We recycle cardboard into a protective weave pattern for our packing materials. This method provides better protection than traditional fillers and helps us reduce waste.

Because batteries are heavy, they can easily crush packing peanuts or pop the plastic air pillows often used in other shipments. Cardboard, on the other hand, is strong and durable, making it ideal for handling the rigors of cross-country shipping.

To prevent any cardboard dust from getting on your battery, we place it in a paper bag or wrap it in recycled brown paper to keep it clean. Every battery we ship is brand new … Keep Reading

Posted on October 28, 2021 by

It might seem harmless to replace just one dead battery in your remote or flashlight and leave the others in place. After all, if only one is out of juice, why toss the rest, right? But mixing old and new batteries is actually a big no no and it could end up costing you more in the long run.

Think of it like running a three legged race with someone way faster than you. The stronger leg (your new battery) is going to overcompensate, while the weaker one (your older battery) just can’t keep up. That imbalance creates a few … Keep Reading
