National Battery Day is a time to not only celebrate the role that batteries play in our energy future but also consider how battery usage can affect our environment. Batteries power so many things in our daily lives so it’s important to remember to responsibly recycle batteries once they reach their end-of-life. In honor of National Battery Day, take this short quiz to see how much you know about batteries and how they affect the environment.
