Does anyone use these for LED video lights? If so how would you rate them vs regular AA batteries?

What do you mean my "Regular AA batteries"?If your item takes rechargable AAs, these will work just fine.What does your manual say?

I haven't specifically used these batteries for your purpose. I have, however, used them for XBox controllers, TV remotes, a battery powered razor, battery powered clocks, my home thermostat, and RC cars. In every case, the performance of the rechargeable batteries has met or exceeded the performance of standard batteries. Rechargeable work well enough that I haven't purchased a standard battery for a couple of years. One recommendation I would make though, is to buy a few more batteries than you need. This way you can simply swap the discharged batteries for some newly-charged ones right away. I know that I didn't answer your question directly, but hope it helps.

I use regular AA batteries all the time. Never purchase expensive rechargeable batteries.

I recommend a 9v battery with a 1k resistor. You could fine-tune the voltage and resistance, but those are easy and quick numbers that I've tested on a string of 10 LEDs.

This light uses 3 AA batteries, and I don't know how long they last - I haven't changed mine yet. (I started using mine around Dec/Jan.) This is a task light - not a light I leave on constantly, although I do use it frequently. LED lights usually are easy on batteries, so I'm going to guess that the batteries will be good for some time to come. I still love this little light - super bright, lightweight - but not easy to tip over, directional and adjustable, and so convenient because you can use it almost anywhere and takes very little space. Hope this helps you!

I highly doubt that they would. Lights like these often draw quite a bit of power. The power supplied that are usually needed are the same used by computer monitors. I believe a 6 amp rating is the minimum. So unless you are talking about a non-standard 9v battery, you would likely run into issues.

Sorry, I'm using alkaline batteries, and they're doing fine for me. I put them under my kitchen cabinets, so I don't always need them, but I know I made the right choice with these lights.

These lithium batteries are used in tactical flashlights. Amazon carries many brands and sizes but you need to ensure the bulb is rated for these. I have the same batteries for my 11,000 candle power light that uses a laser diode vs. a conventional led.

Sorry for the long response time. LED bulbs literally last for years. Mine is going strong andI expect it to last and last. It's the batteries that need replacement as others have said - aboutonce per year. These are great for RVs or van conversions as they don't use a drop of energy from the 12V battery and give out a good amt. of light.

These batteries are rated at 3.6 volts each. A regular AA is 1.5 volts. I recommend you to use 2 regular Duracell (or similar) rechargeable batteries rated at 1.25 volts each. In a pinch you could use (1) 14500 and a dummy spacer battery, but there is a chance you could damage the LED driver circuit, and if it did work you would have a shortend operating time due to only a 1200 mah rating on the battery ( a single rechargeable AA battery typically has a a 2000 mah rating, or more stored energy). So in short, don't use this battery, use regular AA's or 2 standard rechargeable batteries. Hope this helps. ~ James ~ These batteries are rated at 3.6 volts each. A regular AA is 1.5 volts.

I use them for accent light in my living room. I do not use them every time I am in the room but on special occasions. I used the same lights in a former home in the kitchen. I found the life of the batteries was not very good with continual use. So in short, yes, they will work find if you are willing to replace batteries.

Yes, I am using them with Energizer Lithium AAs. Lights are great - using them in a few unpowered sheds and a barn.

I've had them HOLD there charge for 4 months of non use! up to 2 months of off and on use and for at the irish fest shooting and video taping 2 - 4 hours depending on how hard I'm going They do hold up well I cannot complain! Those batteries that only cost a few dollares and ya I've tried them! NO.....don't hold the charge for long and don't last that long either. I've had the cheapies go in 2 - 3 years you know freshly charged and Dead in 30 min.

that's a good question. i do not know as i have yet to do that test. i can tell you that from my understanding of LED lights, they take very little energy increasing your battery life. i will also tell you that my light works quite well for my needs.thank you -

They are only slightly less powerful. In video mode, they don't last nearly as long. And, they don't have a memory chip that tells the camera how charged it is.If you shoot video, buy six or eight of these. They are incredibly useful, and for the price, they perform vey well. But if you are a professional, and have the money, buy canon oem batteries. If you're an amateur, just get a few. You wont regret it.

It would work. The only conflict would be you realizing the cost difference for other like-batteries, it would piss you off. If you can use them, try to get more at once to offset shipping costs; I have since bought more to use in LED flood lights which use the same battery mount!

Hi ,Usually these types of batteries are used mainly for flashlights but why not , could be used for some type of cameras depending from one model to other .Personally I bought them for some flashlight .I can't tell you which cameras are compatible .

Some of my batteries work better than others, but they all suddenly quit giving a very dimm light. These batteries have a voltage regulator that cuts bellow certain voltage (3.2 v). Their regular voltage is not 3 volts but more than 3.6 up to 4.1 v. What kind of voltage regulator they have? Just to cut below certain voltage. I don't think these are good batteries for electronic devices. At least those that require 3 volts. Bad bad.
