NewerTech has announced that it is including a "free" return shipping label with every NuPower laptop replacement battery sold that allows customers to easily return spent cells for recycling. As an added measure of convenience, no extra packaging materials are needed as that the NuPower battery box is designed to be reusable for the battery disposal return.

"NewerTech is proud to provide the Mac community the highest capacity and longest lasting Powerbook and iBook batteries available," said Grant Dahlke, marketing manager. "NewerTech is just as proud to lead the way by making proper environmentally-friendly laptop battery recycling / disposal a no-cost option for our customers."

NewerTech's battery return program assures proper recycling of recoverable materials and helps prevent toxic elements from leeching into land and groundwater. Further, every NewerTech battery currently in production is manufactured Mercury-free.

And, NewerTech's line of Intelligent Battery Charger/Conditioners extend the useful life of Apple, NewerTech, or third-party cells, reducing the number of batteries consumers need to discard.
