A Shocking Improvement: Rechargeable Batteries

Help me give my students rechargeable batteries to use in their drones and controllers. We currently are purchasing dollar store type batteries and would prefer to be environmentally conscious.

My Project

Our classroom requires a lot of power, from power tools that require batteries, to our drones and their controllers. Our current rechargeable battery stations have been around for several years and no longer charge the batteries or the batteries no longer hold charges.

My students need power in order to become proficient at flying the drones prior to testing time.

We don't want to keep using non-rechargeable batteries that are not good for the environment and are a continuous expense. We have taken care of our charging stations and rechargeable batteries but they have all started to fail due to age and use.
