Zinc vs. Mercury batteries: which is best?
- Many people say that zinc batteries perform better in dry climates (states such as Arizona, Texas and New Mexico), while mercury batteries do well in humid environments (states like Michigan, New York and Florida).
- Depending on the gadget or game you're putting the batteries into, the device and/or manufacturer may have a recommendation of which type of battery you should use for optimal performance.
- Trial and error may be the best way to figure out which type, zinc or mercury, to use in your electronics.
Office Depot® would like to help you maximize the life of your batteries by using a battery charger and more. Here are some keys to making your batteries, including your laptop battery, last as long as possible:
- Always turn your electronic gadgets off after use. Leaving them on (even when all that's operating is a small indicator light), can wear down batteries much more quickly.
- Always use alkaline batteries in your electronic devices. Just because a battery is labeled "extra heavy duty," doesn't mean it's alkaline. Check the label to be sure.
- When storing batteries, and your battery charger, always try to keep them in a dry place offering "room" temperature. Never leave them in your car's glove box, for example, because extreme heat is a major contributor in the decline of a batteries power.
