batteries

Prices of electric watercraft are coming down, options are increasing and so is range on the water - at some point a battery-powered pontoon, fishing boat or waverunner might make sense to consider.

Failing to properly dispose of batteries can create dangerous situations.

Some of the things on this list are obvious but others are not obvious at all so take a look before you get to spring cleaning.

Electric Vehicles are becoming more popular over time, with more options and more affordable pricing on many models. You can now purchase a very respectable EV in the 20K range. What are the advantages and disadvantages of electric vehicle ownership?

A recent fire aboard a garbage truck in Duluth prompted an important reminder from WLSSD about battery disposal.

During a visit to my sister's home she turned me on to these new candles that I love!  Not only because they are safer, but because I can set them on a timer and not worry about going to bed or leaving the house forgetting I have an open flame burning.  They are so cool and I'm excited to show you!

We are finally losing some of the snow, with all the fast melting, we have some dry conditions on our hands. Now is a good time to check all your safety alarms. Have your fire extinguisher checked, check your smoke alarm, make sure batteries are fresh.

Everything has a battery these days - even toys for kids.  That's why it should be no surprise that Emergency Room visits for kids that have swallowed batteries have increased.  A recent report shows that these sort of ER visits have more than doubled over the last two decades.
