    <description>&lt;P&gt;My kids use so many batteries for their gadgets and toys i though I would invest in some rechargable battery systems.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;A &lt;STRONG&gt;rechargeable battery&lt;/STRONG&gt;, &lt;STRONG&gt;storage battery&lt;/STRONG&gt;, &lt;STRONG&gt;secondary cell&lt;/STRONG&gt;, or &lt;STRONG&gt;accumulator&lt;/STRONG&gt; is a type of &lt;A title="Electrical battery" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_battery" target="_blank"&gt;electrical battery&lt;/A&gt; which can be charged, discharged into a load, and recharged many times, as opposed to a disposable or &lt;A title="Primary battery" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_battery" target="_blank"&gt;primary battery&lt;/A&gt;, which is supplied fully charged and discarded after use.

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Kathy,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I like your thinking here. I've been doing this for years with great results. Good idea to standardize on one brand and type... Good luck!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;*Art*&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Kathy, thanks for being a great community member. I like your thinking too. We recommend the IonGreen&amp;nbsp;system for your solution. It's kid friendly, easy to use, powerful, safe, and inexpensive. You'll get a 10:1 savings, which for a normal family of 4, translates to over $500 in savings every year. Since you're a great community contributor, I've sent a coupon to you through a private message. Enjoy!&lt;/P&gt;</description>
