Can I use 1.5 V batteries instead of 1.2 V?

Can I use 1.5 V batteries instead of 1.2 V?

In practice the batteries can be used interchangeably in sets. Electronic devices are usually made to run from cell voltages of 1.0 to 1.5 volts. While primary cells gradually drop in voltage from use, they start at 1.5 volts, drop to 1.2 and continue to 1.0 where the appliance stops working.

Can I use NiMh instead of NiCd in trimmer?

Secondary batteries use cell from NiMh or NiCd which have 1.2V open circuit voltage. Primary cells (like Carbon Zinc or Manganese-dioxide which is alkaline) use cells that have 1.5V open circuit voltage when fresh. In practice the batteries can be used interchangeably in sets.

What size are UM2 batteries?

4 x C Size R14 UM2 Heavy Duty 1.5V Carbon Zinc Battery.

What happens if I replace a 1.2 volt battery with a 1.5 volt battery?

If you want to use rechargeable cells like NiMH or NiCad, it will work fine, even though those have a rated 1.25 volts per cell, somewhat lower than 1.5 of alkalines. Yes, it is done all the time. 1.5 V batteries are typically Alkaline-manganese and/or carbon zinc which have a native open circuit voltage of 1.5 volts.

Can I replace a NiCd battery with a NiMH battery?

Many people have asked “can I use NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries in my solar lights that have NiCd (Nickel Cadmium)?” And the answer is, yes! Not only can you replace with NiMH, but they are the better choice of battery as they have benefits that their NiCd counterparts don’t.

Is C2 battery same as CR2?

Are C2 and CR2 batteries the same? The CR2 battery is not usually referred to as a C2, but some small manufacturers do provide batteries identical to the CR2 which are labeled C2.

What is an LR41 battery equivalent to?

384/392B
A common equivalent for the LR41 alkaline battery is the 384/392B sized watch battery. It is a thin circular silver oxide 1.55 volt button battery.

How many times can a NiMH battery be recharged?

Q: How many times can a NiMH battery be recharged? A: Lower capacity rechargeable AA batteriesof 1700 up to 2000mAh can be recharged up to 1000 times in overnight slow charge mode, while 2100 to 2400 mAh rechargeable batteries can be recharged up to 600 to 800 times in overnight slow charge mode.

How many times can I recharge the rechargeable battery?

The new higher capacity AA 2500 mAh rechargeable batteries have greater power capacity, but they can only be recharged approx 500 times in the overnight mode. Capacity improvement or quick charging will always decrease the number of cycles.

Does charging at 400 mAh damage the battery?

A: Yes, but nothing drastic. About 10 to 15\% of the battery mAh capacity will be lost at the 400 to 800 recharge level. This will vary greatly because of battery and charger quality, along with how the consumer treats their batteries.

What happens if you mix NiMH batteries with NiZn batteries?

If NiMH’s don’t supply enough voltage for your device, consider NiZn’s , or mixing NiMH and NiZn together, after seeing the caution about mixing NiMH and NiZn in the same device. Voltage Drop. Like most other rechargeables, NiMH batteries maintain most of their voltage over the whole charge and then suddenly plummet.
