			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Battery Expiration Dates. Learn about alkaline battery life, AA battery life, 9V battery life and more.<br />
Since the life you&#8217;ll get from a battery is dependent on when the battery was made, not necessarily when it was put into service, it’s important to know the date code so you can be sure the battery you buy is “fresh” and hasn’t been sitting on the shelf for a couple of years. </p>
<p>Batteries operate on a chemical reaction.  The reaction continues even as the battery sits outside the device.  If it is left to sit long enough, it will eventually burn itself out. </p>
<p>Energizer and Duracell battery cases are stamped with the manufacture date, not the expiration date, so do not be concerned if you receive a shipment with the case stamped 6 months or a year on the back.  The batteries inside are still fresh – and that’s where you need to look – on the actual battery to determine AA battery life, 9V battery life, as well as all alkaline battery life.  (Rayovac Battery cases are marked with the expiration date – also noting the AA battery life, 9V battery life, etc.)</p>
<p>Manufacture and expiration dates most likely have little to do with each other.  It will probably depend on the manufacturer.  The expiration date is usually the date past which the manufacturer will not guarantee that full life is left.  It is probably a conservative date, so most batteries will have a full life after that time.  Better batteries will show a later expiration date.  Alkaline battery life is so dependent on how the batteries are used, and there are no standards.</p>
<p>Button Cells – One important piece of information that missing…there is no battery expiration date code.  Nothing is written or printed on the packaging or on the battery.</p>

<p>The EcoStrip acts   as a normal power strip/surge protector for  your computer and peripheral   devices &#8211; with one important difference:  when the computer is turned   off, power is shut down to the  peripherals. Simply plug the EcoStrip 2.0   USB Controlled Powerstrip  into any PC or Mac and begin to save   instantly.

According to   the International  Energy Agency, the U.S. spends almost $11 billion   annually on  electricity lost to “Vampire Power”. A computer left on   continuously  uses 70 to 250 watts &#8211; nearly as much power as an energy   efficient  refrigerator.</p>
<p>The EcoStrip 2.0 USB Controlled Powerstrip is   effortless  to use, no programming or software required. Just plug your   computer  into the master outlet on the EcoStrip, plug your peripheral   devices  into the remaining five outlets on the EcoStrip, and plug the   EcoStrip  patented USB cable into your computer. Power Down and Save.   That’s  it! You just helped your pocketbook and the planet. EcoStrip,   Inc. is  taking an active role in generating conversation and motivating    individuals to take action when it comes to improving the environmental    status of our planet. If you have a computer, why not make it a green    one? The USB EcoStrip 2.0 helps you to conserve electricity by turning    power-drawing devices off when you aren’t at your computer.

<h4>If you have a computer, why not make it a <strong>green</strong> one?</h4>
<p>The USB EcoStrip 2.0 helps you to conserve electricity by  turning   power-drawing devices off when you aren’t at your computer.  EcoStrip 2.0   is an energy saving smart power strip with surge  protection.  According to  the International Energy Agency, the   U.S. spends almost $11 billion  annually on electricity lost to “Vampire   Power”. A computer left on  continuously uses 70 to 250 watts &#8211; nearly   as much power as an energy  efficient refrigerator.</p>

<p>Many businesses are taking the lead through environmental    awareness and actions. We can help your organization save money, save    energy, and reduce your carbon footprint with the implementation of    ecostrips, which will be paid for with energy savings!<br />
Please   remember to be responsible and power down, the  environment appreciates   it!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>For Immediate Release:  May 30th 2009</em></p>
<p>We at DepotEco are adding something really exciting to our inventory this summer!  We have the honor of being one of the first stores to offer the newest in innovative Nickel-Zinc (NiZn) battery technology from PowerGenix.</p>
<p>In the past few years, interest in PowerGenix NiZn batteries has skyrocketed as their reputation for producing the most reliable, highest quality NiZn technology has grown. Today the company is supplying NiZn cells into multiple markets including power tool, lawn and garden, consumer AA, military, and light electric vehicle (LEV).</p>
<p>In the exciting and quickly evolving world of Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs), PowerGenix and their NiZn battery technology is being recognized as a game changer and real step forward in terms of efficiency, power, environmental soundness, and cost effectiveness. PowerGenix&#8217;s NiZn powered Toyota Prius was showcased at the 2009 San Diego International Auto Show where the advanced battery vehicle was featured in the Eco-Center, the main feature of the 2009 show. As the Prius, the Insight, and other new hybrid cars battle it out for the top spot, PowerGenix’s NiZn technology is finding itself at the center of HEV innovation.</p>
<p>PowerGenix has also entered into a supply agreement with PowerEagle, the leading manufacturer of electric bicycles in China. Under the agreement, PowerGenix will supply its NiZn cells for pack fabrication into the entire product line offered by Veloteq, PowerEagle&#8217;s North American sales and distribution partner, beginning in 2009. In many other arenas PowerGenix has seen a great increase in demand and investment and has accordingly begun high-volume manufacturing.</p>
<p>For decades NiZn batteries have been recognized for their usefulness in applications demanding high discharge rate capabilities. With a high energy-density ratio and an open circuit voltage of 1.6 volts they have been heralded as the batteries of the future for high drain applications. Now PowerGenix- an innovative San Diego based company founded in 2000- has developed and is manufacturing patented NiZn 1.6 Volt Rechargeable AA batteries that make NiZn technology more effective, useful and available than ever before.</p>
<p>PowerGenix has improved already efficient NiZn technology by increasing cycle-life, lowering cost, reducing size and weight by 30% and improving low temperature discharge behavior. The small size and low internal resistance of PowerGenix NiZn 1.6 Volt Rechargeable AA Batteries enables the delivery of significantly more power during periods of peak demand than a nickel-cadmium (NiCd) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery of comparable size.</p>
<p>Another way that PowerGenix NiZn batteries have raised the bar is by their ability to completely recharge in less than two hours and achieve 80% recharge within one hour, a key benefit for cordless power tools, electronics and many other applications. These  rechargeable batteries are also completely safe, non-combustible and easier on the environment than other comparable technologies.</p>
<p>Until now, NiZn 1.6 Volt Rechargeable AA batteries have been available only in limited quantities via one camera merchant. But we at DepotEco were so impressed by the efficiency and environmental soundness of these batteries that we were determined to make them available to our customers. We are honored to announce that beginning in late June we will be one of the first stores to carry these amazing batteries. They are now available online and in our brick and mortar store.</p>

<p><strong>Move over Li-ion , Zinc is about to get all up in your area. Energizer has already announced the Zinc Air Prismatic , and now DepotEco will carry the new PowerGenix Nickel-Zinc (NiZn) AA cells. (IN STOCK NOW!) </strong></p>
<p id="continued">San Diego-based PowerGenix, developer and manufacturer of nontoxic, high performance NiZn rechargeable technology.</p>
<p>NiZn batteries provide greater power for today&#8217;s high drain consumer electronics, enabling superior camera performance compared to existing rechargeable batteries.</p>
<p>Despite rapid innovation in the capabilities of portable electronics, until recently, progress has been slow to develop batteries able to meet the demand of these power-hungry devices. With advanced NiZn performance, the NiZn  has been introduced by PowerGenix to fulfill the growing needs of high drain digital cameras and accessories. By delivering a higher voltage than existing rechargeable cells, cameras equipped with NiZn cells benefit from brighter flash, shorter flash recovery time, and more shots per charge.</p></div>
<p>Earlier this year, PowerGenix&#8217;s NiZn technology was certified by the RBRC for collection and recycling, becoming only the fifth rechargeable chemistry recognized by the program.  PowerGenix&#8217;s NiZn batteries contain no toxic heavy metals such as lead, cadmium or mercury and are the most recyclable rechargeable chemistry on the market.</p>

<p>N<strong>ickel and zinc are among the Earth&#8217;s most abundant elements, found virtually  everywhere in our daily lives. These natural elements are found in the earth, in  the food you eat and in a wide variety of products. Both elements are readily  recyclable and many products on the market today come from these recycled  supplies.</strong></p>

<h3>About Nickel</h3>
<p>Nickel has many uses from construction materials to food preparation, but its  many favorable characteristics make it an excellent choice in the use of high  powered rechargeable batteries. For more information on nickel, its many uses  and its metallurgical properties, visit the <a title="http://nickelinstitute.org/" href="http://nickelinstitute.org/">Nickel Institute</a>.</p>
<h3>Zinc Facts</h3>
<p>Zinc&#8217;s unique properties allow it to be used in an array of products from  cosmetics, to baby powder, to precision parts for automobiles, airplanes and  appliances. The <a title="http://www.iza.com/" href="http://www.iza.com/">International Zinc Association</a> notes that one of  the most useful characteristics of zinc is its resistance to atmospheric  corrosion. The ranking of zinc in the electromotive series of metals (an  indication of a metal&#8217;s tendency to oxidize, or give up electrons) positioned  below magnesium and aluminum but above cadmium, iron, nickel and hydrogen, make  it an exceptional material to use in conjunction with nickel when designing a  battery. The electronegative characteristics of zinc have made it a popular  choice in a variety of primary (single use) battery technologies for many years.</p>
<h3>Recyclability</h3>
<p>More than 6.5 million metric tons of zinc slab, oxides, powders and dusts are  consumed each year in the Western World, two million of which come from recycled  zinc. In the United States, the Bureau of Mines estimates that with enhanced  recovery, recycled zinc will ultimately account for more than 40% of the total  amount of zinc used</p>
<p>Meanwhile, nickel&#8217;s resistance to corrosion means that when most  nickel-containing products are eventually discarded, they are still intact and  easily identifiable (e.g., a kitchen sink made of stainless steel). This aids in  the collection and sorting of nickel-containing products for recycling.</p>
<h3>Sustainability</h3>
<p>While abundant, both nickel and zinc are finite resources. However, their  innate characteristics and recyclability assure environmentally sensitive  availability for long-term development. Unlike many other materials nickel and  zinc can be recycled again and again while maintaining their physical and  chemical properties. There remains the same amount of each element at the end of  a particular product cycle as at the beginning.</p>
