GoGreen Power Alkaline C batteries are an ideal choice for all your high-draining devices. This pack of 12 C batteries are the perfect choice for eco-conscious customers. We need batteries to power critical devices in our lives, but disposing of them in a landfill is bad for the environment. As they break down, they can leak chemicals into groundwater and release known carcinogens. Our alkaline batteries contain no lead, cadmium, or mercury. These C batteries have a lifespan and performance comparable to the top brands on the market but with a green mindset. Due to the lack of these chemicals, even if the batteries do end up in landfills, they will not leak harmful chemicals into the groundwater or land. These alkaline batteries are made of manganese dioxide, & contain no cadmium or lead. It is suggested to use alkaline batteries for your high drain power devices, such as flashlights, television remotes, or even smoke detectors. By purchasing this pack of 12 alkaline batteries, you not only will get a high-quality product; but also get ecological peace of mind with hassle-free recycling. We offer free recycling and free shipping back of the used product to our recycling facility. Please view the recycling code and instructions on the back of the package and visit the GoGreen Power website for additional information.
