Can it be used instead 1.5 V batteries My GE A950 requires 2 AA 1.5V batteries. Is it ok to used Sanyo eneloop 1.2V rechargebles instead of 1.5V?

Ann,I'm using eneloop and other LSD batteries in MP3 players (Creative Labs, RCA) and wireless temperature sensors (La Crosse) without any problems. The battery indicator on MP3 players will show a 'low' status, but they work just fine anyway.In alarm clocks and TV remote controls, you're better off using alkaline cells. No point in using rechargeable cells in something that only requires new batteries once every 2-3 years.

I had high hopes for the enloop rechargeables, but many of my electronics won't work with them due to the voltage discrepancy. This includes an mp3 player, travel alarm, wireless temp gauge, and all TV/receiver remotes -- the device either won't respond at all or displays only a low battery indicator. So it just depends on the device requirements. I presently use them in my bike lights -- not quite as bright but I like being able to maintain that brightness by topping them off in the recharger.

Most battery-operated appliances work fine with NiMH cells in place of alkaline cells. Alkaline cell starts from 1.6V when fresh, but its voltage drops linearly with usage. Rechargeable NiMH cell (such as Sanyo eneloop) starts from lower voltage, but it can maintain 1.25V operating voltage throughout most of its useful life. The only problem is that the low-battery indicator may come up early (incorrectly), due to the lower battery voltage.In your particular case, the GE A950 user manual says it can accept rechargeable NiMH cells. Therefore you can definitely use Sanyo eneloop cells. Most battery-operated appliances work fine with NiMH cells in place of alkaline cells.

No they are about the size of a roll of dimes, if you need a 3.7v battery AA size you need the 14500. If your device calls for AA batteries though, the standard AA only puts out 1.2-1.5v so a 3.7 battery could ruin it.

I have an old model that I purchased in 2007 and it still works with 4 AA batteries. I use dollar store alkaline batteries and they work just fine. The base you can plug in or use an optional 9 volt battery in case of blackouts.

I use this lantern with NiMH batteries and it works fine. Specifically, I use the Energizer AA Rechargeable 2200 mAh batteries or the Sanyo Eneloop AA 2000 mAh (I have multiple sets of rechargable batteries which I use for all sorts of things). I also use the AA to D adapters so the batteries will fit. The Sanyos last a little longer; probably because they are better batteries. Obviously, the AA rechargeables don't last as long as D batteries. I also haven't timed how long the lantern lasts with AA rechargables, but my best guess is about 10-15 hours. I hope this helps.

You can get four rechargable AA Eneloop batteries and charger by GE/Sanyo that last six months on a single charge. If Amazon doesn't have them they are at Wolf Camera or Wal-Mart Sally Ann B.

They are only 1.2V (all the 1.5V I found are alkaline batteries).For your purpose, I recommend you get the 1.2V rechargeable with the highest mAh. Personally, I would get these:8 pcs of Tenergy C Size 5000mAh High Capacity High Rate NiMH Rechargeable Batteries

You can use ni-mh rechargable batteries. Sanyo Eneloop batteries are the best.

The voltage specs mention 3.6 V. If the AA battery used has a voltage different from 1.2V, it could create such a problem. Many AA batteries give out 1.5V, which means 4.5V on a 3 pack - which is a load on the system and can perhaps fry up some circuits causing the sensor to malfunction.

Yes... I'm using both AA and AAA Sanyo Eneloop batteries and it does a fine job.

No, it won't. You can use only 1.2-1.5V AA rechargeable or non-rechargeable batteries.

Any high quality rechargeable AA battery will provide 300 to 400 photos per charge outdoors, without flash. Talking a lot of flash photos will cut that number in half. The Sanyo Eneloop AA battery provide exceptional performance because they don't lose their charge in storage. You may be able to get up to 500 photos per charge with Eneloops. That means you can go on a trip with an extra set of Eneloops and take up to 1,000 photos before you need to charge.Because each set can be recharged hundreds of times, it is possible to take more than 50,000 photos with a single set of Eneloop batteries...although I doubt many cameras ever last for 50,000 photos.

I am not know anything about W1 toys and v959. These batteries worked well until I discharged them too far. They quit taking a charge. I then bought a battery from HobbyKing, and it so far has been working longer. It has a higher rating for current draw which is good. My guess, if the battery fits, and the toy uses 3.7 volts, try it.

I have been trying 4 AA sanyo eneloop batteries with the included C plastic holder/adapter. I worked for 2.5 weeks and then needed to be charged. Not too happy with that time frame, but it does eliminate the buying of C batteries. The eneloop have a unique chemistry, they work at lower fridge temperatures.

I use Eneloop rechargeable batteries in mine and swap out with a spare set every month or so to stay ahead of dead batts. It's nice that they run it on 2 AAs - I'm currently using a pair of 550s that use 4 AAA each.

I know this is a little older but YES, you can use the older Sanyo charger. While these Sanyo cells are gen 4 NiMH cells, NiMH chargers are not generation specific. (Obviously they (and other chargers) are chemistry-specific, as a NiMH charger only charges NiMH cells, NiCad only NiCad, Lithium only lithium of that specific voltage, etc., unless you have one of the advanced chargers, such as what is made by NiteCore IntelliCharger line, that is explicitly designed and labeled to be capable of charging batteries with different chemistries and different voltages.) I recommend consideration of a "smart" charger as they can extend the service life of the batteries by maintaining high capacity throughout its life. As these are Sanyo cells, the have the ability to keep a very long service life and a quality charger will maximize it...I have some of these eneloops in the 2nd generation version and with well over 700 load cycles they still have over 85% capacity!!!

Yes no problem. These are excellent batteries, actually they are rebranded Sanyo Enloop batteries.

Those AmazonBasics white AA cells have exactly the same capacity as the Sanyo eneloop AA cells (Min. 1900mAh, Typ. 2000mAh), so you can safely mix and match them. Your appliances will not know the difference anyway.
