Wireless mics are essential for a free flowing production or presentation.  Applications vary from church services, to performances, to speakers who don’t want to be bound to a podium.   In the Wireless mic world, there are two basic types of systems: and all-in-one unit (a handheld mic with the transmitter, battery, and antenna contained within the handle), and the two-piece system (a small mic with a separate transmitter, usually clipped to the performer).  

 Whichever wireless mic system is being used, quality low cost batteries are vital for a great performance.  At Medic Batteries, our Duracell Procell and Energizer discount AA batteries and 9volt batteries are guaranteed fresh and ready for critical applications, and whether you prefer alkaline or lithium for your wireless mics, our bulk pricing will provide you with the low cost batteries you need.   

At Medic Batteries, we constantly reuse packaging to ship out our batteries to cut down on our paper waste in the warehouse.   So, since we are in the battery business, we thought it would be great to provide customers with information on how and where to recycle their rechargeable batteries and lithium batteries.  Though batteries are a necessary part of our everyday lives, powering our laptops, cell phones, toys, and mp3 players, consumers that regularly buy batteries can do more to help our environment by properly recycling batteries.  Rechargeable Batteries and lithium batteries contain chemicals than can potentially pollute streams and lakes when they are disposed of in solid waste landfills. 

Although the only rechargeable batteries we sell are NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride), and though these batteries aren’t considered hazardous waste, they do contain recyclable material.  Lithium batteries of any kind, whether they are primary or secondary, should be recycled.  Today’s alkaline batteries have a 97% mercury reduction since 1996, which deems them appropriate to be thrown away in your household trash, However, some recycling locations will take alkaline batteries.  It is also important to note that older batteries of any kind are encouraged to be recycled since their toxicity may be too high for solid waste landfills.

Most cities and municipalities do not have a regular recycling pick-up for batteries, but there are recycling centers in each state that do accept batteries.  To find one nearest to you click here to search by city, state or zip code.
