VIPOW AA Rechargeable Battery 1.2V 1800mAh

Description

Unlike disposable alkaline batteries, this NiMH cell can be recharged with a compatible charger, which reduces the frequency of battery replacement in equipment that is used repeatedly in a lab or classroom setting. Its nominal output is 1.2 V per cell — slightly lower than the 1.5 V of a standard alkaline AA — so it is important to confirm that your device is designed to work with rechargeable NiMH cells before use.

This battery is commonly used to power handheld instruments, STEM kits and other classroom electronics that take standard AA cells.
