Old Laptop Batteries Can Light Your Homes For One Year

According to the researchers, the discarded laptop batteries have so much juice left in them that they can light your household for one year or so.

Computer company IBS has conducted a research that tested such batteries which were not good for laptop usage.

The examination showed that 70% of those batteries had ample juice in them to light an LED bulb for four hours a day, for an entire year.

This research was conducted this year in Bangalore, India.

The cheapest alternative

Researchers are of the opinion that this technology is cheaper than any of the existing options of creating cost effective lighting. They also say that heavy usage of the same will bridle the e- wastage as well, which has become a big nuisance to the developing countries these days.


Even the solar energy is a relatively costlier alternative to power. Researchers are expecting that this novelty will definitively help those 40 crore Indians who don't have access to the conventional means of electricity.
