The Horizon Group launched its Smart Battery Club recently. It’s a program built to alleviate the necessity for families to spend cash on batteries yearly. This is simply not your typical “switch to rechargeable battery” concept that so many of us have seriously considered, maybe tried prior to now, and said “forget it.”
The thing that makes this idea so inviting is threefold:
First, Smart Battery Club capitalizes on leading edge ZeroWatt Rechargeable Technology. Unlike traditional battery chargers, Zero watt chargers disconnect from the power source when the batteries are charged. This eliminates stand-by power consumption and saves you money on the utility bill.
Second, the use of Max E low self-discharge cells (generally known as LSD batteries) remove the demand for batteries to remain left on the charger in order to stay charged. They can be saved in stand-by up to a year – with minimal loss in power. That as well, saves the household money buy not having to but throw-away batteries year in year out. (Moreover it takes a small dent out from the 15 billion batteries being thrown-away each and every year in the world) Since Max E batteries are also high-capacity cells, you don’t have to constantly switch out the recharged cells because they aren’t lasting for enough time. In reality, the most of the Max E batteries outperform alkaline cells in run-time. Add to that the ability to re-use these batteries approximately 1000 times and the savings really start piling up.
Finally, the club is set-up to refer other families to join. Each time a new member joins as a result of another, the referring party earns commissions on the purchase of product. It’s this “pay it forward” attitude of the club that encourages families to do the right thing about living green buy “making some green” too. This concept has attracted the eye of church congregations, civic organizations and other groups who have a capacity to “convert” other to this new way of doing batteries – and in essence, freeing up their wasted “battery cash” for other priorities. It’s refreshing to see an eco-friendly program that truly saves and earns green too.
