 Whistle Thump Typing Whoosh Ding Today I will be unboxing batteries and not rechargeable batteries. These are your standard run-of-the-mill plain-jane alkaline batteries, but there is something special about them. So I'm going to go ahead and point at it Earth-friendly landfill safe. So these are batteries that are supposedly eco-responsible. They contain 0% cadmium lead and mercury and they are digital alkaline batteries by the way, and they are landfill safe meaning that they are There it is patent pending leak resist seal. They are equipped with a patent pending leak resist seal So today more and more people are mindful about the products they use every day and their associated environmental impact and global warming contributions Here we have a co2 carbon footprint thingamajiggy by purchasing eco alkaline batteries You're doing your part to reduce the co2 and climate change impact brought about by the production distribution and disposal of alkaline batteries Asterix and NCIX does not take a stance on the global warming issue So, you know just throwing that out there But I'm just telling you guys what the manufacturer has to say eco alkaline batteries are progressive high quality consumer batteries with performance rivaling National leading alkaline battery brands interesting. Okay, do not recharge these batteries if they are recharged Then they will break There they are, okay. So hold on hold on let me get them all open. Let me see what else they have to Okay, I'm making a total mess here. Let me see what else they have to say for themselves So they are certified carbon neutral and the world's first but I'm gonna find where that asterix goes and I'm gonna find out What it's all about. Hold on. Where's it go? Hmm Okay, I can't find it okay About carbonfund.org so leading nonprofit provider of carbon offset and climate solutions organizations make it easy to okay carbon offset enables individuals working with carbon which has the first carbon neutral product label in the US eco alkaline batteries are certified carbon neutral Okay, so here's all the details the asterix doesn't go anywhere in particular. It just refers to the pamphlet itself So here are the test results which you can view online showing the eco alkalines versus Duracell Energizer and Kirkland That's the Costco brand of all things. Okay. We've also got pretty much the same stuff that we covered on the back of the box and the front of the box and Today consumers are more aware of the environmental impact of the products they use every day created by the management of line batteries in Canada Wow, look at that more than 296 million car kilometers equivalent of co2 are created by the manufacturer distribution use and disposal of alkaline batteries in Canada All other batteries carry at least one of the three elements above that means cadmium lead and mercury other brands may limit the usage By maintaining levels below the 0.9% that allows them to be called free, but these harmful chemicals are still present interesting That's up to 900 times more dangerous materials than eco batteries eco alkaline brand batteries have zero these heavy metals I mean that to me is more than almost anything else the big thing here. I mean, there's the carbon neutral stuff There's the not leaking which is well actually critical But then the fact that they don't contain the heavy metals in the first place and if they can still provide the same performance That you're gonna get from another alkaline battery then great. Why not? So guys, thanks for checking out my little unboxing and preview or feature or whatever you want to call it of the eco Alkaline batteries and don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos
