These Zero Waste Recyclable Batteries revolutionize energy storage with the world's first carbon-neutral battery featuring a built-in recycling program. Every component of these alkaline batteries is recyclable, offsetting the carbon footprint associated with their entire lifecycle. Partnering with Raw Materials Co., they ensure 84% recycling efficiency, recovering valuable materials like zinc, manganese, potassium, and steel. Nothing goes into a landfill. By recycling, we reduce environmental pollution and promote sustainability. When your batteries are depleted, you can ship them to the recycling center with a pre-paid shipping label (free of charge).

Shipping & Returns
Shipping Details
You can expect delivery of most items within 3-5 business days of your order.
Certain items are delivered directly from the manufacturer.
If you are not satisfied with your purchase within 60 days, you can return it for a replacement or a refund.
Returned products must be in a new, unused condition, and contain all original packaging and accessories
(including all warranty cards and product manuals/instructions). Items with a gift receipt from the packing slip may
be returns for an eGift Card.
"Comparable Value" (Comp. Value) is based on the price at which the product, or a comparable item, was, currently, or in the future will be offered for sale by SharperImage.com, marketplace sellers, manufacturers, suppliers, or other retailers, online or in-store. Such prices may have been identified by SharperImage.com or provided by marketplace sellers, manufacturers, or suppliers. This comparable price will be what is charged at checkout. The lower price offered can be claimed by entering in the promo code in the Promo Code field on the cart or checkout pages.
When your batteries are depleted, you ship them to the recycling center using a pre-paid shipping label at no cost to you. Refer to the packaging or contact customer service for details on obtaining the label and where to send the batteries.
What materials are recovered?
According to the manufacturer, the process operates at 84% recycling efficiency and recovers zinc, manganese, potassium, and steel.
Are these rechargeable?
These are alkaline batteries, which are single-use and should not be recharged. A separate Rechargeable Kit option is listed for the product — check that variant's details before ordering if rechargeable cells are what you need.
What sizes and pack counts are available?
AA and AAA come in 40-packs, C, D, and 9V in 12-packs, and there is an AA/AAA 40-pack combo. Availability varies by size, so check the option selector for current stock.
How long do they last in storage?
They carry a 10-year shelf life, so bulk packs remain usable for years before being put into a device.
Batteries With a Recycling Program Built In
Most household batteries end their life in a drawer or in the trash because sending them somewhere is inconvenient. These alkaline batteries are sold with a mail-in recycling program: when they are depleted, you ship them to the recycling center using a pre-paid label at no cost.
The manufacturer works with Raw Materials Co. and reports a recycling efficiency of 84%, recovering zinc, manganese, potassium, and steel from the returned cells. The batteries are available in AA, AAA, C, D, and 9V, and carry a 10-year shelf life.
Free Mail-In Recycling
The recycling program is the point of difference. Rather than requiring you to find a municipal drop-off or a retailer collection bin, depleted batteries go back to the recycling center by mail with a pre-paid shipping label, free of charge.
That removes the friction that keeps most batteries out of recycling streams in the first place — the program only works if returning the cells is easier than throwing them out.
What Gets Recovered
According to the manufacturer, the recycling process operates at 84% efficiency and recovers zinc, manganese, potassium, and steel — materials that go back into industrial use rather than being extracted again.
The manufacturer also states that the packaging is fully recyclable and that a Life Cycle Analysis was conducted to assess the batteries' carbon footprint across their lifecycle.
Standard Alkaline Chemistry
These are alkaline batteries, the same chemistry as conventional household cells, so they work in the same devices without any adjustment — remotes, flashlights, toys, clocks, smoke detectors, and controllers.
A 10-year shelf life means a bulk pack stays usable in a drawer for years, which matters when you are buying 40 at a time rather than replacing as you go.
Available in Five Sizes
The range covers AA, AAA, C, D, and 9V, in bulk packs sized to each format: 40-count for AA and AAA, 12-count for C, D, and 9V. There is also an AA/AAA combo pack for households that need both.
Buying in bulk in a format that is designed to be sent back at end of life means one purchase covers a long stretch without accumulating cells you have nowhere to put.
