NiMH Rechargeable Batteries

Products   General Info.   FAQs

Features

• Replaces all AA & AAA batteries
• Runs longer than alkalines
• Ideal for digital cameras, portable CD players, GPS, FRS radios, pagers and many other devices which use alkalines
• Deluxe Rapid Charger features auto-shut off
• Plug-in Chargers are UL approved
• Ni-MH is environmentally friendly - no cadmium or mercury
• High Capacity Ni-MH batteries have no "memory"

NOTES:
* Digital camera tests conducted using 4 AA 1500 mAh cells using Olympus D320L. Tests based on LCD viewer run time.
** Portable CD tests conducted using 2 AA 1500 mAh cells using Sony Discman D131. Tests based on music play time at mid-level base and volume settings.

Battery & Charger Combination Products

DESCRIPTION
	High Speed Chargers Charges both AA and AAA Ni-MH or Ni-Cad rechargeable batteries. Batteries must be charged in pairs and must be the same size. 110-240 VAC/12VDC w/4 AA 2000 mAh NiMH batteries.
	Universal NiMH & NiCad AC Charger This charger will charge two or four AA, AAA, C, D, and 9 volt NiMH or NiCad batteries in approximately 5 hours.  It is important to note that different battery sizes cannot be mixed while charging and all battery types must be charged in pairs.

General Information

The advantages of NiMH batteries compared to other battery chemistries include the following:

• NiMH batteries provide significantly longer run time compared to NiCad batteries

• In some devices, like many digital cameras, NiMH batteries also provide significantly longer run time compared to alkaline batteries. In other devices, depending on the voltage cut-off of the device, NiMH batteries may not offer longer run time than alkaline batteries.

• NiMH batteries are environmentally friendly and do not contain lead, mercury, or cadmium as other battery types do.

• NiMH batteries do not have a "memory effect" like some other battery types. NiMH batteries can be charged any time and do not have to be fully discharged prior to charging like NiCad batteries do.

• NiMH batteries do experience some level of self-discharge when not in use. Generally, if the NiMH battery has not been charged or used for more than 1-2 weeks, it is best to fully charge the batteries to get maximum run time out of them.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the capacity rating of NiMH batteries?
The capacity rating for the AA size is currently 1800 to 2300 mAh and the capacity rating for the new AAA size is 700 to 850  mAh. These capacities are subject to change in the future. Please look at the models for current available capacity.

2. What is the voltage of each of the batteries?
The voltage of all NiMH batteries is 1.2 volts per cell.

3. Where are the batteries manufactured?
The 9 Volt, AA and AAA size batteries are currently manufactured in Japan or China. All products are inspected and packaged in the U.S.

4. Where are the chargers for the NiMH batteries manufactured?
Both the ac/dc charger and the wall charger are manufactured in China.

5. What is the typical charge time for NiMH batteries in the ac/dc chargers?
We offer many chargers for use with the NiMH rechargeable batteries. Some will charge 9 Volt batteries, other will not, please review the specifications of each charger to see what technologies they will charge.  The wall charger can be used for 9 Volt, AA and AAA size batteries. All NiMH batteries experience some level of self-discharge when not in use.
