Prevalence: Found especially among families with children that use many battery-powered devices. Lives often in the same devices as Allies, can also be found in cordless tools.

Behaviour: Ninny is an active and durable workhorse that can be recharged several times. An environmentally friendly powerhouse that wants to be useful.
Handling: Please do not make the mistake of recharging Allie instead of Ninny – the alkaline battery may heat up enough to cause a fire.
Recycling: After arriving at the Akkuser plant, Ninnies are first crushed. Next, ingredients such as nickel and cobalt (35% in total) are separated and recovered from the crushed batteries. Using recycled nickel saves up to 75% of energy when compared to mining pristine material.
