“Green Battery” to urge the industry to adjust

Nine ministries and commissions in accordance with the provisions of 2006 is the last year, if the enterprises do not have compliance, you must close.

China’s enterprises and improved through the introduction of Canon EOS 30D Battery Grip foreign advanced technology, have been resolved in the mercury-free batteries under conditions of long-term storage and maintain power stability issue, then, followed by how to promote the use of mercury-free alkaline batteries? In response, Wang Jingzhong the Secretary-General pointed out that efforts in two ways One is to raise consumer awareness of mercury-free alkaline battery level, so that people understand the mercury-free alkaline batteries in environmental protection, cost and other advantages to urge everyone to purchase and use of this “green cells”; second, by strengthening supervision and strengthen law enforcement efforts to promote the industry, product structure adjustment, promote and help “green cells” production enterprises to expand production scale and market share rate.

Domestic enterprises to produce mercury-free alkaline battery power can be achieved with six times the mercury batteries, storage time can reach more than 3 years, or even 8 years, than to have a mercury-free battery to be much longer. Mercury-free alkaline batteries these advantages, there is no well-known. Nanfu Battery launch the concept of 1:6, a Nanfu battery effect is six times the normal battery. Fujian Nanping Nanfu Battery Co., Ltd. Ding, general manager, said, “six times the concept is rather conservative concept. The most we launch came here eight times more, but from the perspective of the consumer in charge, we only mention six times the This is to ensure that consumers to use effect. ”

According to reports, the performance of alkaline manganese batteries are common in many areas the battery can not be compared, such as electrical current, toys, razors, and so the use of regular batteries reach the effect of alkaline manganese batteries. In addition, conservation of resources is also very impressive, zinc as a battery raw materials, to use ordinary batteries to 5.6 grams and as alkaline batteries used in 3.5 grams on it.

Battery manufacture than ordinary alkaline batteries much more difficult because of the purity of raw materials higher, purification itself, the price will be high, manufacturing costs are high. The production of mercury-free battery technology is mature and is mass-produced, the cost does increase a lot Canon EOS 40D Battery Grip, Canon EOS 300D Battery Grip, but on their own be able to digest.

Another aspect of the industry adjustment of product structure is also very important. Wang Jingzhong Secretary-General said, in accordance with the provisions of nine ministries and commissions in 2006, is the last year, if the enterprises do not have compliance, you must close. The implementation of mercury-free and compulsory execution, the workload is very large, the first batch of 11 key enterprises have already achieved compliance in the future also will be gradually released, the current domestic scale there are dozens of enterprises, strengthen supervision and increase law enforcement from the start here.
