What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Check device compatibility and fit before buying. The listing says these 1.2V NiMH cells may have shorter runtime than 1.5V alkaline batteries and may be slightly larger. Use only a Ni-MH charger with independent charging channels and voltage monitoring. Do not mix these with non-rechargeable cells, cells at different charge levels, old and new cells, different capacities or brands. The listing claims they arrive pre-charged and ready to use, can be recharged up to 500 times, and retain 80% capacity for 24 months. These performance figures are manufacturer claims, not verified results.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- People replacing AAA cells in compatible digital cameras, remote controls, toys and other devices.

Less suited to
