Rechargeable battery question...

[AznMaverick]

...if i bought THESE batteries, would it be possible to recharge them in my rayovac charger that can charge nimh, alkaline, or ni-cad batteries? or do i only need to stick to the rayovac batteries to use that charger...

i got a 50/50 chance of getting this right... so i will say yes it should work.

Yeah, your charger will work fine. Good price on those, but I can't use that many.

batteries are batteries, if your charger can do nimh, then it can do any nimh batteries (size dependent, C doesnt fit in AA etc)... it may take longer to charge them though cuz these are 1800mAH.

Should be fine. You sometimes have to be careful with high-capacity NiCads and NiMHs, especially the 4000+mAH Cs and Ds, as some chargers aren't designed for high-cap batteries and will only deliver a partial charge. But an 1800mAH AA shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks for the replies, all!

That is not really true. If it uses a timer then it probably won't fully charge the batteries. If it is a smart charger it will fully charge them but it will take longer.
