NewerTech launches recycling program


NewerTech has announced the launch of the NewerTech battery recycling program, designed to reward customers who recycle used notebook batteries.

"Improper disposal of laptop batteries can harm our environment, and we want to make it easy for our customers to do the right thing," said Larry O'Connor, president. "Sending your old battery to us is not only a convenient and responsible way to ensure proper disposal, but now it pays $19 for each one that is replaced with a NuPower battery."

The new program allows customers to send in their used Apple or third-party PowerBook or iBook batteries, and receive a $19 rebate for each NewerTech replacement battery purchased (The battery type sent in for rebate must be the same type as the battery purchased). NewerTech's laptop batteries, available for most iBook and PowerBook models, including all current Apple models, start at $120 and offer up to 50 percent more capacity than Apple's stock batteries.
