Active ageing: old laptop batteries can be used as home lighting

IT information news on December 9, electronic products are rapidly modernizing, used notebook computers as an example, one of the batteries is always "polluters". In that case,

How to dispose of used laptop batteries?

Used laptop battery recycling used?

Recently, IBM researchers have developed a device called UrJar, it can put the old lithium-ion rechargeable battery mounted in low power devices, such as LED lights, fans, and cell phones. In order to develop the device, the team extracted from used batteries the lithium-ion battery core, and with the charged combination of keys and safety circuit.

Although this sounds simple, but it has great potential. According to the IBM statistics, approximately 70% of used batteries for LED lighting equipment in the case of work 4 hours a day for a year . It's enough to make not enough families have more light in the area of electricity supply, or allow certain souks adequate lighting at sunset time. So don't throw away worn out laptop battery directly, because he can still be used on household lighting in some third world countries, and that waste can reduce environmental pollution.

At present, there are still some refining problems must UrJar listed need to be addressed before, but IBM says it's not a commercial product . Instead, IBM hopes this technology-related equipment can be provided to people who need it, especially some of the poorest people in developing countries. This gives us way, not only solve some lighting issues living in disadvantaged areas, and to some extent ease e-waste pollution. So in the near future, waste portable batteries can have a new place: active ageing, and bright .
