Environmental Effects
There is a lot of uncertainty as to the effects of battery holders and batteries on the environment. The debate is evolving alongside developments in environmental awareness, such as concerns over global warming and e-waste.

This could improve the life of each unit while reducing the amount of e-waste generated.
