Thanksgiving … Christmas … New Year’s … there’s nothing as WONDERFUL AS THE HOLIDAYS! What’s YOUR favorite part of the celebrations? Some people say it’s the delicious food; others are convinced it’s the special love shared with family and friends. But everyone agrees that these joyful events “don’t just happen”. For many families, Holidays mean TRAVEL!
OK … you’ve made it to any of the west coast’s three busiest airports … San Francisco International, Oakland International, or San Ramon International … but you STILL NEED TRANSPORTATION from the airport to your relatives’ homes!

- MORE TIMELY than well-meaning people who promise to pick you up but are delayed because their car broke down, they thought you were arriving “tomorrow”, they are looking for you in another area, their car is too small for all of your luggage, or they thought you flew in to “that other airport”

AAA Transportation is proud of our efforts to keep Mother Earth “GREEN” and beautiful. For several years we have included the classy Toyota Prius hybrid (gas-electric) sedan in our fleet of modern, sleek vehicles. We would like to help you become more familiar with one of the main operating components of the Prius – the battery – to better understand how our hybrids give you the BEST is luxury transportation while also helping the environment.
For many decades, vehicle batteries have contained lead and hydrochloric acid – both of which are highly poisonous substances. When these batteries reach the end of their usefulness, their disposal becomes the “tricky task” of keeping these caustic materials from leaching into our drinking water, food chain, and surrounding environment. However, new technology in vehicle batteries is producing new horizons.
The emerging hybrid-electric vehicle market is producing promising results with the nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery. The advantages of this type of battery are:
- Excellent performance
- Long life
- Reliability
- High energy
- Low cost of ownership
How are NiMH batteries made?
Like former batteries, NiMH batteries consist of two electrodes – one positive and one negative. The positive electrode uses nickel-hydroxide for the cathode, while the negative electrode uses metal hydride for the anode. A polymer separates the electrodes to prevent shorting. A potassium hydroxide mixture with a small amount of water forms the electrolyte within the battery cell. The cell is then sealed and electrically charged to form a 1.2v electrochemical couple. Individual cells can then be joined in series to produce batteries in various voltage ranges, with 12 volts being the typical arrangement.
What is the Life Span of these “greener” batteries?
Battery life spans are evaluated in terms of complete discharge cycles. For example, a standard all electric-vehicle battery can be charged and discharged 1,000 times. This is equivalent to more than 100,000 miles. However, in hybrid gas-electric vehicles, the battery is never fully charged or discharged. Instead, these batteries are cycled in shallow discharges hundreds of thousands of times. This partial charge/discharge operation enables the NiMH battery to last more than 200,000 miles.
What happens when the NiMH batteries eventually lose usefulness?
These environmental friendly batteries are 100-percent recyclable. AND … because they contain no toxic materials, they are the only rechargeable battery that can be legally disposed of in a landfill. However, we understand that simply dumping them into a landfill doesn’t make either economically or environmentally sound sense. The obvious solution is recycling, which most hybrid vehicle manufacturers make available.
AAA Transportation is serious about keeping our planet “GREEN”. Our eco-friendly hybrid sedans provide businesses and individuals alike with luxurious transportation while reducing our carbon footprint. With excellence as our standard, you are guaranteed complete satisfaction. Make your reservations TODAY either online or by calling 866-558-0222.
