Can I charge different rechargeable batteries with any charger?

Can I charge different rechargeable batteries with any charger?

No. You cannot use just any charger to charge any rechargeable battery. First off, battery chargers use charging protocols to charge specific battery chemistries. Some chargers can charge multiple chemistries by detecting the battery type and apply the proper charging method.

How long does it take to charge a 1300mah battery?

It should take approximately 1.5 hours to fully charge a 650-1300mah ego battery.

Can you use a 2 amp charger on a 1 amp battery?

Don’t worry about any problems using a 2-amp charger with a device designed to be used with a 1-amp charger. In some cases, it may speed up charging of the smaller device. In other cases, the smaller device will limit its power-sipping to 1 amp.

How long can 1300mAh battery last?

They are suitable for your regularly used devices like a wireless mouse or a babyphone. They come pre-charged so you can power your devices right away and will stay charged for up to 12 months, when not in use. Additionally, Duracell Rechargeable AA 1300mAh batteries are guaranteed to last 3 years.

What is the recommended charge current for a 1300 Ma battery?

You must limit the current or the battery will be damaged. All batteries have a specified rate of charge rated in factors of “C”. In this case C = 1300 mA. 0.1C is a safe and typical rating for charge current. Your 1.2-volt open-cell voltage is typical of NiCd batteries.

What is the voltage of a NiMH battery charger?

Basic NiMH battery chargers usually charge the batteries at constant current. It sounds like your charger uses a current of 0.15 A, and has a maximum voltage of 1.5 V. The charger will regulate the current and the chemical reactions occurring in the battery will determine the voltage.

What are the voltages of rechargeable batteries?

According to Wikipedia, the following rechargeable battery chemistries have cell voltages of 1.2V: At a glance, it would appear that nickel is the common denominator, but this is not the case, as nickel-hydrogen and nickel-zinc have voltages of 1.5V and 1.7V, respectively.

Is it safe to use a 3V power supply as a charger?

On the other hand, if it is just a 3 V power supply and not a charger at all, or it is a charger for a different chemistry of battery than you have, it’s not safe to use. (For example, NiCd fast chargers are not safe to use on NiMh cells, because they may not detect full charge reliably).
