Rechargeable batteries are not goodalways sometimeschosen. Each battery costs more to make at the [[factory]], and has more dangerous [[ingredientschemicals]] than disposable batteries.
Rechargeable batteries are sometimes better than disposable batteries. They can be reused many times before being thrown away. They make less [[pollution]] because of this. Reusing them can cost less money since they can be used over and over.
