BRIEF: Depot batteries donated to troops

HERMISTON, Nov 20, 2009 (Tri-City Herald - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- U.S. soldiers in the Middle East are receiving coveted batteries from the Umatilla Chemical Agent Disposal Facility and Umatilla Chemical Depot.

Each time workers enter certain areas of the depot facility for incinerating che-mical weapons they carry communication devices with fresh batteries to ensure reliable communication.

Each entry lasts no more than two hours, leaving the batteries with plenty of power to be used in other electronic devices.

The incineration facility has been collecting the lightly used batteries and has donated a barrel full to Soldiers' Angels, a California-based charity created by the mothers of soldiers.
