    ¿Cuándo es el momento de cambiar la batería del llavero?

    ES MUY IMPORTANTE ASEGURARSE DE QUE BATERÍAS DE SU CONTROL DEL AUTOMÓVIL ESTÁ FUNCIONANDO, NO QUIERES QUEDARTE ABAJO DE LA LLUVIA Y NO PODER ABRIR SU AUTOMÓVIL.

     

    Hay muchos tipos diferentes de baterías, asegúrese de obtener las letras correctas (Normalmente CR) y los números correctos también. MicroBattery Pro-Tip (Entendiendo las baterías de lithium coin): Las baterías de lithium coin generalmente se encuentran seguidas de un conjunto de números. La C en CR le permite saber que la batería usa una química de lithium. La R te permite saber que la batería tiene forma redonda. Los dos primeros números te indican el diámetro de la batería y los dos últimos números te indican la altura. Entonces, siguiendo esto, puede ver fácilmente que una batería CR2032 es una batería de química de lithium (C) con una forma ronda (R) que tiene un diámetro de (20) 20 milímetros. Esto se aplica a la mayoría de las baterías tipo moneda y de botón, pero tenga en cuenta que existen algunas excepciones, como las baterías CR2 o CR123A, que se consideran baterías cilíndricas de Lithium

    Quick Facts: Rechargeable Batteries

    Different types of batteries have different rechargeable battery life.  Battery life depends on the model and your usage. Heavy and constant use will drain a battery much faster than light and intermittent use. 

     

    For example:          

    Nickel cadmium (Nicad, NiCD) (1.5-3 Years) Cycle LIfe: 1,000+ Cycles

    Nickel metal hydride (NiMH) (3-5 Years) Cycle Life: 700-1,000 Cycles  

    Lithium Ion (2-4 Years) Cycle Life: 600-1,000 Cycles

    Lead Acid (6 Months) Cycle Life: 200 Cycles ( Varies)

    What Are 9V Batteries?

     

    The 9V battery is an extremely common battery that was first used in transistor radios. It features a rectangular prism shape that utilizes a pair of snap connectors which are located at the top of the battery. A wide array of both large and small battery manufacturers produce versions of the 9V battery. Possible chemistries of primary (non-rechargeable) 9V batteries include Alkaline, Carbon-Zinc (Heavy Duty), Lithium. Possible chemistries of secondary (rechargeable) 9V batteries include nickel-cadmium (NiCd ), nickel-metal hydride (NiMH ), and lithium ion. The performance and application of the battery can vary greatly between different chemistries, meaning that some chemistiries are better suited for some applications over others.

    Batteries and the environment: How To Dispose of Batteries

    The importance of proper battery disposal



    The average person throws away 8 batteries per year. Collectively, we dispose of over 3 billion batteries annually in the United States. According to Science Direct, the UK, with one-fifth of the US population, generates 30,000 tons of wasted general purpose batteries annually. Less than 2–3 percent of them are recycled. The interaction of the chemical constructs of these wasted batteries poses a threat to the environment. 

    The availability of the nickel metal hydride battery played a crucial role in facilitating Europe’s banning of the nickel-cadmium battery in the EEC’s Battery Directive of 2009. Nickel-cadmium batteries (Ni-CD) along with lead-acid batteries currently represent the greatest environmental threat from energy storage devices. Lithium batteries are, to the surprise of some, quickly following suit. Lithium-ion batteries may be only mildly toxic, but factors including their size, sheer number, and their improper disposal, contribute to their addition to the list of polluting battery chemistries.

    To be clear, the problem is not a particular battery chemistry. The issue is its disposal.

    Primary battery options and a look at lithium batteries

    A LOOK AT LITHIUM BATTERIES


    In a prior article, Battery categories and chemistries, we discussed the two battery categories, primary batteries and secondary batteries, with a brief summary of the common batteries in each group. We focused on alkaline batteries in our post, Role of primary batteries, and presented the broad family of lithium-metal cells, which together with alkalines, dominate primary batteries in both popularity and usage.

    n this article we will take a closer look at primary battery types and delve just a bit more in some of the more recognized lithium chemistries available. Excluded from this post are three primary battery types that serve niche applications—zinc-air batteries mainly used to power hearing-assisted devices, silver-oxide batteries mainly used for watches, and zinc-carbon batteries which were superseded by alkalines in the 1980s but are still available for specialized needs. Available links to discussions on these batteries can be found at the end of this post.

    Battery Hazards for Children

     

    Batteries pose a variety of hazards to children including choking, toxicity, electric shock, and burns. There are thousands of different batteries on the market and all contain a variety of chemical agents. They come in various shapes and sizes, ranging from giant bricks to tiny cylinders. One of the most dangerous types of battery for children are lithium coin cell batteries, which are quickly becoming very popular among manufacturers due to their relatively small size and high performance. Being able to power a device with such a small battery is great and convenient for manufacturers and for users, but these batteries becoming so small pose a serious risk for children. The round shape of lithium coin cells and shiny metallic finish can be mistaken for a piece of candy or small food item by a child. Ingestion of a lithium coin cell battery can sometimes not be an issue as they can normally be passed through the system with little issue. In many instances, complications can occur which can be very serious and life threatening. The biggest hazard is the battery being logged in the esophagus, causing choking or even serious burns. If you suspect a child has ingested a battery or any other non-food item it is best to seek professional medical attention right away.

    Battery safety part 1: Preventing harm to yourself and others

    PREVENTING HARM


    I can remember hammering on a C-cell after an unsuccessful attempt to pry it open with a screwdriver. It was the 1970’s, and like most kids in their single-digit years, I was curious. I had no clue that my forceful attempt to discover what lies inside could result in a painful experience. Spring forward to 2020, I wonder if the potential hazard would have been recognized even by the average adult; awareness of existing dangers lurking in everyday products does not seem to have been quite as widespread then as it is now.

    With today’s variation in battery compositions, it is important that we understand some of the hazards posed by their modern chemistries and some precautionary measures against them. My brute force attempt to open what I am guessing was either a zinc-carbon or an alkaline battery, might have been met with dire consequences had it been one of today’s battery chemistries.

    Let’s take a look at a few battery types with regard to safety.

    Battery safety part 2: Protecting our children from potentially lethal accidents

    PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN


    In the United States alone, 2,800 kids require emergency treatment for swallowing button batteries annually. That breaks down to approximately one child every three hours. In 2017, there were 1,986 ingested battery cases involving children under 6 years of age. I recently viewed a heartbreaking video published by Child Accident Prevention Trust (CAPT) about a Hampshire toddler, Francesca Asan, who tragically died from ingesting a button battery from a pair of 3D glasses stored in a cabinet.

    With the development of more advanced battery chemistries and more batteries in the home to power our gadgets, serious injuries and deaths from their ingestion have multiplied by nine times in the last decade.
