Hybrio -- new rechargeable battery
Uniross, a global leader in rechargeable batteries and chargers, and its newly acquired subsidiary North American Battery Company (NABC) announced on Sept. 7, 2006 the release of the Hybrio "new technology battery".
The Hybrio is ready-to-use right out of the package, just like a disposable battery. It lasts four times as long as standard rechargeable batteries. It also retains its charge long-term -- even if not used for months -- and is rechargeable up to 500 times, combining for the first time the instant-power convenience of disposable batteries with the reuse and long life of rechargeables.

Features
Five key benefits of the new Hybrio battery are:
- Use Anywhere
- The Hybrio can be used in any application where AA and AAA batteries are called for. They are ready to use out of the package and have long shelf life.
- Convenience
- The Hybrio comes charged and ready to use off-the-shelf, and can last up to four times longer on each charge than standard disposable batteries when used in high-drain devices like digital cameras, which means far fewer battery changes.
- Long Life
- The Hybrio features a three-year battery life limited warranty. It will last for 3+ years when recharged regularly as directed.
- Savings
- One Hybrio rechargeable is equivalent to up to 500 standard disposable batteries. The payback period on purchasing a charger and batteries occurs after using them just twice ... and the savings continue year after year.
- Environmentally Sound
- Billions of ordinary batteries are thrown away every year, many of which end up in landfills and contribute to the pollution of our lakes and streams, and introduce harmful contaminants into the environment. Because up to 500 fewer disposable batteries go to landfills for every Hybrio rechargeable battery used, consumers can feel good about their choice to "power responsibly."
Helping the Environment
The pollution caused by batteries is one of the most problematic aspects of household waste disposal.
They contain a number of heavy metals (Aluminium - Cadmium - Mercury - Nickel - Lead - Iron - Zinc - Calcium - magnesium - Lithium), some of which are highly toxic for humans, animals and plants. They pollute the soil and poison ground water. [1] (http://www.uniross.com/uniross.htm)
