  First, the effects of using the device using the present invention will be described. In recent years, high energy consumption information home appliances such as digital cameras have become popular, and primary batteries such as manganese batteries and alkaline batteries and secondary batteries such as nickel-cadmium and nickel metal hydride batteries are stored in the same place in the home and workplace. There have been many occasions. AA size batteries are particularly large, so when preparing multiple sets of secondary batteries for replacement of digital cameras, etc., or buying a large number of primary batteries and using them in part, then removing them from the packaging. Problems such as the inability to distinguish between unused and used will occur. Some of the batteries that have been used for waste collection as used waste batteries can be used at a temporary high load, or can be replaced with a sufficient margin, so that they can still be used as primary batteries or can be properly charged. Some survey results also include usable secondary batteries. Furthermore, when there is little battery knowledge and management consciousness such as an elderly person, problems such as obstacles to the operation of the device and disposal of usable batteries may occur. In particular, in the case of an unused primary battery or secondary battery, if the battery is stored together with a conductive material such as a necklace, the electrodes are short-circuited, and there is a risk of heat generation, smoke generation and ignition. In addition, when the local government disposes of the battery, it is instructed to put an insulating seal on the electrode, but the current situation is that it is not well protected. By using the method or device according to the present invention in ordinary homes, recycle shops, convenience stores, offices, etc., it becomes possible to charge without regard to the type of dry battery or rechargeable battery, and a label is automatically attached. Therefore, there is an effect that it is easy to select according to the purpose of use of the battery. Furthermore, when storing and discarding, the seal covers the electrode, so that the safety is enhanced.

  According to the present invention, if it is an AA battery size, a dry battery, a rechargeable battery, or an arbitrary quantity such as several to ten or more pieces is placed on the tray of the apparatus without being conscious of the direction of insertion, and polarity or chargeability is determined. There is an effect that it is possible to provide a label on which the voltage value which is a reference for the purpose of use of the determination and the battery and the conditions of the recommended device is printed and pasted on the electrode part. Usually, when labels are automatically applied in equipment, there are issues such as sticking adhesive to unnecessary parts and reducing the reliability of the equipment. However, according to the present invention, the release paper is removed after printing. In the state where the pressure-sensitive adhesive is opened to the atmosphere, a device can be realized in which the label can be conveyed to the battery side surface and can be attached to the cylindrical portion of the battery side surface by the pressure roller. Since the information related to the battery can be attached to the battery as a label and provided as an integrated unit, there is an effect that the management is improved or the battery with remaining energy can be reused and is environmentally friendly.
