Can a Used Battery Be Swapped for Free? LVSUN Is First to Launch an Old-for-New Battery Service

In striving to be an advocate for environmental protection, what benefit can we truly gain? Old-for-new trade-in programs for household appliances are currently a hot topic among consumers, and Shenzhen LVSUN, a digital battery manufacturer, has become the first to launch a month-long "Support Environmental Protection: Old-for-New Battery Service" during the Labor Day holiday, as reported by Southern News reporter Lu Liang. According to the report, as long as consumers bring an old, used battery (a digital camera or camcorder battery) to any of the 18 Shenzhen SUNING stores, they can receive a new one. A used battery of any brand can first be converted into a cash credit and then exchanged for a new battery. If a consumer can provide the original invoice for LVSUN batteries previously purchased at SUNING, they can receive the same model of battery free of charge directly from LVSUN.

Environmentalists point out that old, used batteries contain heavy-metal elements such as lead, cadmium, mercury and nickel, as well as acidic and alkaline electrolytes. If they are not recycled in time, they can cause serious pollution to the environment. For ordinary consumers, the used batteries kept at home often cannot be recycled professionally and promptly. Through this initiative, LVSUN staff will collect the old, used batteries and dispose of them in an environmentally responsible way. In other words, consumers can not only enjoy price benefits but also join LVSUN in contributing to environmental protection.
