Title: energizer rechargables?
Post by: crunchy on April 20, 2004, 04:16:01 PM
Anyone use the energizer rechargable AA batteries? They are 2100mah, anyone know if these are comparable to the powerex maha rechargable AA's? Is it ok to mix rechargable batteries? I will be using these with the powerex batteries in a psp-3. I might just buy them and try them out since a 4 pack is only $10 but I figured I'd ask here first.

i picked up a pack of these, along with the 2100mah charger, earlier in the week. i'll let you know how they fair with my d100. i also grabbed a pack of the energizer 9v nimh rechargeables for my sonosax.

I have a few sets of Energizer AA that are only 1700 mAh and have been using them for over 2 years with no problems.

for $10 a 4 pack you can't go wrong, they will pay for themselves in no time

Don't mix different capacity batts.  I.E. if you have a bunch of 1200's you don't want to mix em with 2200's cuz the 1200's will poop out before the 2200's will...  Make sense?

just set up a little test in front of my stereo here at home using energizer rechargeable batteries, 9v (7.2v) 150mAh in my lemosax and AA 2100mAh in my d100... after 3 hours of recording both are sill going strong. the d100 has two power bars remaining and the sonosax is reporting low power (1-sec led flashing), although it had been doing this since the start of recording.

i'm thinking the lemo-modded sonosax draws a lot less power than a standard sax, hence the reason i'm able to get 3+ hours out of it with 7.2v 9v batteries, anyone?

I am using one of the energizer 9v NiMH cells in my SVU-1 & it pooped out after about 10 hours of use. Does anybody know what capacity are alkaline 9v cells?
