Disposable or Rechargeable?
Disposable
costly- Energizer 4 pack of AA batteries is $6.67 at Walmart
convenient- most households have many different types of batteries
bad for environment- once the battery is dead you throw it out
logical for uses like smoke detectors because they have a longer life.
Rechargeable
costs more in the beginning, but can be recharged- Energizer 4 pack of AA rechargeable is $14.52 at Walmart
better for environment- less batteries being thrown away
what ever you put a rechargeable battery in, you must take it out more often to recharge it.
