Voice Recorder Rechargeable Battery

[life24]

Hello,
I have a ICD-UX523F and i want buy a new rechargeable battery.
The original battery is NH-AAA 1.2V 800mAh.
Can i buy a new battery with higher mAh? for example 1350mAh?
What is difference?
Thanks

That is a Sony Recorder. The specified battery is a single NiMH, AAA rechargeable. If you can find a AAA rechargeable with greater capacity, you should be able to make the swap.

The difference should be longer battery life. The AAA form factor is the same.

A portable voice recorder is not a computer peripheral, but a gadget. So, I am moving the thread to the Mobile Devices and Gadgets Forum.

Capacity is a function of the size

For AAA rechargeable, I think the current max is around 1000mAh from a reputable brand. Don't trust an eBay seller who advertises 3000mAh for AAA(fake), or 1500mAh (most likely abuses the battery too much and degrade its life faster)

10-20% increase is decent (from your older technology cell to the latest gen cell). Battery tech hasn't really improved a lot (compared to CPU/Moore's law)

No difference between AAA 1.5V and AAA 1.2V ?

I find that Energizer Rechargeable AAA's are 1.2 vdc, and non rechargeable are 1.5 vdc. I have no problem using them interchangeably.

This table indicates the differences:

Looks like NiMH batts are 1.25 vdc.

It takes AAA batteries. JUST BUY SOME AAA BATTERIES.

Panasonic Eneloop's are excellent rechargeable batteries. Their regular version is 800mah while their pro version is 950mah. More mah = longer runtime. From a quick search the Pros are slightly larger in diameter so they may not work in all applications.

It charges via usb so you don't want to charge non-rechargeable AAA batteries.

So throw an all caps rechargeable in there.

Nope. 1.2 rechargables will always give out a constant 1.2v until the charge dies. 1.5 reg batteries are never a 1.5 for long, if at all. they usually hit 1.2 almost instantly.

I only mentioned it because it's not safe to charge non-rechargeable batteries. I don't want to see anyone get hurt.

What type of battery?

Rechargeable AAA with 1.2v

Rechargeable AAA with 1.2v

1.2V is the nominal voltage for LSD (low self discharge) nimh batteries. My eneloops arrived from the factory at about 1.33V and are about 1.45V fresh off the charger.

I believe my non-lsd nimh batteries for my RC trucks end up about 1.5V fresh off the charger but they quickly self discharge.

Are you sure you meter is accurate? Do you have a link to the batteries you bought?

How do i know the meter is accurate?

Do you have a link to the batteries you bought?

What is link?

Those are supposed to be low self discharge ni-mh batteries so I would say your meter is not completely accurate. Either way I don't think they will hurt your device.

This is assuming you bought from a reputable source and the batteries are not knockoffs.
