Can you mix batteries with different mah?

Can you mix batteries with different mah?

Mixing batteries of different capacities will generally result in lower capacity battery drain first, while the higher one will not be discharged completely. This is not optimal usage and it’s not very good to recharge not-fully-discharged batteries. Therefore, mixing capacities is not recommended.

Are AA battery chargers interchangeable?

Yes, it can charge all aa aaa rechargeable batteries, whatever the brand it is.

Can you charge mAh batteries in a NiMH charger?

NiMH batteries made by other manufacturers can be charged in an Energizer® charger however we recommend the use of Energizer® NiMH batteries. For example, a fully discharged 2450 mAh battery being charged at 200 mA would be fully charged in (2450 mAh X 120\% ÷ 200 mA) ~15 hours.

Can you mix rechargeable AA batteries?

You should not combine rechargeable and disposable batteries in the same device. Just be sure to remove the mismatched batteries, and replace them with fresh batteries of a matching type as soon as you can. You can do this in a pinch, but don’t do it for days or weeks at a time.

Can I use a charger with higher wattage?

The short answer is yes you can use a laptop charger with a higher wattage, however, there are some caveats. The wattage rating of a laptop charger is a maximum rating which means that the charger is capable of providing power up to the output wattage rating and or course anything in between.

Can I use a charger that provides the same voltage but a lower amperage?

No, amps do not have to match, but the power supply or charger must be able to supply enough amps as required by the device being powered or charged. In practical terms, that means the amperage rating of a power supply or charger must match or exceed that required by the device it is connected to.

Can you charge a 12v battery with a 18v charger?

Lead acid batteries do not like to be over charged, the plates tend to warp and the chemical reaction needed to properly re-charge is a bit slow so a lower voltage say 14 should be used. Having said that 18v will definitely charge a 12v battery.

Can I use a Ni-MH battery charger to charge a AAA battery?

Can I use a 1.5 v or .15A x 4 (AAA) output Ni-Mh battery charger to charge 1.2 v 1600 mAh AAA Ni-mH rechargeable batteries? Probably. The important thing to understand is that the “nominal” voltage of a battery is just a sort of average or typical voltage, usually during discharge.

Why is the AAA battery capacity of 1600 mAh?

That’s because 1600 mAh is a very high capacity for an AAA battery—so high that I have trouble believing it’s accurate, although I see that there are some AAA batteries that advertise a capacity that high. A typical NiMH AAA battery has a capacity of around 800–900 mAh, so your charger would fully charge most AAA batteries in 6–8 hours.

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.

Can I use a 600 mAh battery instead of a 400mah?

Of course, if you are not readily able to find the 400 mAh batteries then by all means use the 600 mAh batteries in their place. see less A lot of people confuse Voltage with Amps. In this situation the 1.2 volts is is the power that lights or powers the device they are used in.
