#Maine will require battery makers to provide #recycling options
By Tina Fischer, April 9, 2026
"Gov. #JanetMills signed into law a measure that will offer more options to recycle both single-use #alkaline and #LithiumIon batteries in Maine.
"LD 474 updates the state’s current product stewardship laws to require national battery manufacturing companies to set up drop-off locations and fund a statewide take-back program so that all batteries can be safely disposed of and rare earth metals can be extracted for reuse.
"Eight other states have enacted similar laws.
"The state’s existing battery recovery program, enacted in 1991, covers only nickel-cadmium batteries. Many hardware stores, town offices and Staples stores in Maine accept some types of batteries for recycling. The nationwide Battery Network lists on its website drop-off locations in Maine.
"Improper disposal of lithium-ion batteries — commonly found in power tools, cell phone chargers and #vaping devices — has led to at least 24 fires at recycling facilities in Maine. Disposal concerns have driven up insurance rates for towns, according to the #MaineDEP.
"More than 820,000 pounds of batteries are thrown away in Maine every year, according to the Natural Resources Council of Maine [#NRCM].
" 'Holding corporate battery makers accountable for cleaning up waste will lower costs for Mainers and help curb demand for mining rare earth metals,' said Vanessa Berry, sustainable Maine program manager at the nonprofit.
"It is technically illegal in Maine to dispose of rechargeable, button cell, or lead-acid batteries in the regular trash."

I have a handfull of rechargeable batteries that my el cheapo chargers report as dead.
I find that if I put the AAA batteries reported as "pining for the fjords" in one of my old cordless dect phones and put it on charge in its phone cradle they'll then charge up.
Must get a better battery charger.

I use a lot of rechargeable AA and AAA #batteries. One day I really should get a better battery charger. Also need to get to IKEA & get some new Ladda batteries (which are eneloop batteries, still made in Japan).

hm hm lithium-ion rechargable AA and AAA batteries definitely exist
anybody know of specifically good brands?
(eta: so do C cells and presumably so on, same question)
-
Anybody tried the rechargeable batteries (ladda?) that IKEA sell? I hear that they are the next best rechargeables after Eneloop (I know. Should probably stretch to Eneloop costs eh?) .
Lots of my existing batteries pike out in the old okd Canon S3 camera that I have.

I just charged Grey ⚫🚲⚡ for 12 long hours. Because. The user manual said to do so every 2 months.
But why? I dunno. 🤷♀️
Should I do the same with Big Bike ⚪🚲⚡? Speaking of which, it's only almost 2 years old and the #battery will now only charge up to 74%. It charged up to 80% when it was new. So maybe that's not so terrible. 😐

So, #Battery question:
I am buying my mom some LED candles for #Christmas.
And I want to buy rechargeable batteries for them. I already have this recharger: https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-K-KJ17MCA4BA-Individual-eneloop-Rechargeable/dp/B00JHKSMJU/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=1AR2N1828AMSX&keywords=eneloop+charger&qid=1670078508&sprefix=endloop+recarger%2Caps%2C63&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzRjVRRDBIWDE3MjhEJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwOTI2ODAzMU5VNEhHWURLWlZQMCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNzU3ODc4M0JFMFpMRTZCS0FZOSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=
Should I buy more Endloop batteries? Or will cheaper ones not explode in this?
Any advice?
