No, Call2Recycle accepts all types of dry-cell batteries under 11 pounds, but not wet-cell batteries.
Read MoreA wet-cell battery is the original type of rechargeable battery. It is commonly found in aviation, electric utilities, energy storage and cellphone towers. The battery contains a liquid electrolyte such as sulfuric acid, a dangerous corrosive liquid. A dry-cell battery does not contain liquid. Smaller dry-cell batteries, such as alkaline or lithium ion, are typically used in portable electronics, such as toys, phones and laptops.
Read MoreBecause they look the same and are often used for similar purposes, it’s often hard to tell the two apart. Single-use or primary batteries have one charge; once they lose their charge, they can’t be used again. Rechargeable batteries are designed to be used more than once. The batteries are either plugged into a charger or charge while in the device. Many rechargeable batteries can be charged up to 1,000 times.
