The Best Batteries for Your Buck

Yes, 1.2 volts versus 1.5 volts, I have radios that take 5 or 6 cells in a pack. .5 x 1.2 = 6 volts vs. 5 x 1.5 =7.5 volts The radio shuts down around 6.8 volts. Same problem with the six pack 7.2 volts vs 9 volts. the ad said about 2.00 each. , Can't find them that cheap. Lower voltage requires more current to get same power out discharging batteries faster. They work in some devices but not others.

I find the 1.2 V rechargeable batteries a mismatch unless they are required by the manufacturer of the device your using them for. Putting a lower current type 1.2 V battery in a flash light for example causes the light to fail sooner and give less light even when fully charged. The Alkaline equivalent high amp hour 1 .2 V rechargeables will not satisfactorily replace the 1.5 V regular Alkalines or even general purpose.

I have tried the sanyo enloop batteries and find them to be the best ,When i used them in my camera they hold up to the very end before you receive a low batt. indication . all the other rechargables give a low battery indiication faster and do not seem too hold a charge when not used

hello

wonder why someone doesnt come up with a hand crank recharger ? or why not use what come in a hand crank radio ?

John, as nice as that sounds, it is not practical for multiple use. Stop telling people dry cell batteries can be rejuvinated. Sure, it can be done, but most people will not follow procedure. End result; fire and/or explosion. Also, recharging non rechargeables will void any warranty on any equipment they are used on if something fails, no matter if it was the batteries fault or not. Now, we use 4 cameras, 4 helicopters, 4 WII controllers, several remotes, remote control cars, children's toys, and the list goes on. With regular batteries, we would go through upwards of 5 hundred AA every month. So, I buy Rayovac Platinum rechargeables for $1.50 per instead of $1 per but can charge them 300 times. Rayovac has come a long way and still outperforms energizer and duracell and other premium batteries for much less.

I've said my piece for tonight. If you want to learn; email me at jc777donedeal@aol.com. I'll help as I can.

Dry cells can be rejuvinated to 60 or even 90 percent capacity without applying any voltage to their terminals. You will laugh at how simple. Use them some more at no cost. Then you can use them for other things after that that require less voltage. Rejuvinate again; and get some more out of them. Don't pay the vultures. Learn how to use your batteries. Understand them.
