Throwing away batteries is a both a waste of money and environmentally damaging. Think of all the toxic chemicals that go into making batteries being released back into the environment. This clever little gadget lets you re-use your disposable batteries up to ten times. This means you can dispose of one tenth of the number of batteries you would normally. I know for me that would add up to many dozens over the year. The charger takes up to four batteries at a time, and works with AAA, AA, C, D and 9v batteries.
The Deluxe Battery Wizard not only works with alkaline batteries, it charges re-chargeable ones too. The device has four LED indicators to let you know when the batteries are fully charged. The Deluxe Battery Wizard costs just £19.95 and is available on-line from gizoo.co.uk.
