Battery Reconditioning

I have taken very good care of my camera. The batteries died and I bought rechargeable batteries. Now it just won’t turn on. I’m not sure if my camera just broke for no reason or if it’s the type of battery.
Yeah I charged them, they work on my other camera. I think my camera might just be broke.

I’ve yet to encounter a camera that can use AA batteries that didn’t perform better with rechargeable NiMH batteries. Did you charge them first?

I have some double A rechargeable batteries.Will they last longer if I wait until they are all the way dead before I charge them or does it matter.Any information will be helpful.Thank you.

If you let them discharge completely (die) before charging them again they will last longer. Try to take them off the charger as soon as they are completely charged, don’t leave them on the charger.

I was wondering if it’s possible to charge regular rechargeable batteries in my 360 controller since I only have the USB charge cable and not the charge pack. Thanks!

I don’t think you can i’m pretty sure that the cable will take over powering up the controller and the batteries will just sit there doing nothing.

5mw green laser – takes aaa batteries – how many mAh should the rechargeable aaa batteries have if i were to use them instead of ordinary ones?

Use the highest-capacity cells you can get, regardless of the application.

I don’t know the upper limit of AAA rechargeables.

I’ve seen NiMH AA’s up to 2900, although I think 2400
or 2600 is the highest that can easily be found in stores.

I want to buy a wireless keyboard but the one I’m looking at says I should only use regular AA batteries. Why can’t I use rechargeables the only difference is I don’t have to keep buy new batteries?
Would it malfunction if I used rechargeable batteries?

yes, and typically the problem has been the current or milliamp hours that are lower than regular alkaline cells. I use them in wii remotes and stuff like that. The other problem with rechargeables is that they are designed to lose charge rather quickly over a short time. Unless you use the newer very low discharge types like the eneloops made by Sanyo in the other answer it will be a problem when you are not using the device since they discharge so quickly even when not used.

the new ones are much better than the older ones in this regard. I use rechargeable ones also in my wireless mouse and they work great.
