With the AlwaysReady, the problem of self-discharging batteries is solved. The efficient batteries have a minimal self-discharge rate, retaining 85% of their capacity even after a year of storage. This means the battery is always ready for use over a long period without needing to be charged first. This increases the lifespan and efficiency of the batteries. The batteries come pre-charged, so they are immediately ready for use. Up to 1500 charge cycles are possible, making them gentle on the environment and your wallet. The AlwaysReady solar battery is particularly suitable for solar applications such as garden lights, fountains, and is also ideal for cordless phones.
