Can We Just Have Charged Batteries Already?

My students need these batteries and the charger because we are always stuck with dead batteries.

My Students

We are a high poverty school with a very diverse population of students of all backgrounds but we do not allow that to affect the quality of the program or equipment our students are exposed to. We want the best for them and they deserve it.

We use a lot of technology and one thing we are always short of is batteries.

I spend way too much on batteries and I still never have enough. These rechargeable batteries and chargers will help us to have a constant supply of batteries.

My Project

If you have ever reached for batteries only to find them dead even though they have been sitting in a charger forever, then you know my pain. Our students use batteries in microphones, recorders, and lights.

We use batteries in everything we do and we need reliable rechargeable batteries and a good charger that will care for the batteries and keep them in optimal shape.

The batteries in this project are expensive, but they are the best batteries available. They are able to recharge over 2000 times! And the charger is also top notch as it is able to recondition batteries, drain and recharge them, and keep them in optimal health so that when the batteries are needed, they are ready to go.
