EVI Launches XL Rechargeable Alkaline Battery

Energy Visions Inc. of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, has introduced the new XL™ rechargeable alkaline battery by its subsidiary Pure Energy Visions Inc. XL provides 80% more service life than the original rechargeable alkaline (RAM) battery sold by Pure Energy.

In its first cycle XL can be recharged 50 to 500 (or more) times, depending on the frequency of recharging, resulting in substantial savings for consumers and reduced environmental impact. Using XL and recharging when the batteries are fully drained would cost only Cdn$15. The batteries do not contain toxic cadmium and can also be recharged at any time without suffering from the “memory effect” problem inherent with nickel-cadmium batteries.
