If everyone used a BATTERY LIFE SAVER (BLS) in the U.S., instead of 117 million batteries being created, there would only be l/3 of that amount, or 39 million. BLS doubles or triples the life of a battery.

350,000 tons of lead is produced in the USA. 70% goes to batteries.

The lead-Acid batteries used in automobiles, trucks, buses, etc. compose a significant portion of the hazardous waste stream. Constructed of a plastic shell, they contain several inner cells, each enclosing lead and lead plates immersed in sulfuric acid. The average lead-acid battery contains 17.5 pounds of lead and 1.5 gallons of sulfuric acid. Lead is a highly toxic heavy metal and sulfuric acid is a corrosive. Sulfuric acid dissolves materials and living tissues by chemical action.

If batteries are not properly disposed of such as being dumped in a landfill or an empty field, contamination of the environment and groundwater supply will occur. The batteries will disintegrate and leak the dangerous substances in ground water, soil and air, eventually polluting the food people consume. Severe lead poisoning can cause comas, convulsions, irreversible mental retardation, seizures and even death. Low levels of exposure can result in fatigue, impaired central nervous system functions and impaired hearing.

It is estimated that 70-80% of all lead-acid car batteries are currently recycled. But about the other 20% which will eventually discharge their chemicals into our air, land and water?

BATTERY LIFE SAVER will live up to its name double-fold. It not only saves the battery and extends its life, in doing so, less hazardess waste will be made available to pollute our environment.
