Can You Mix Eneloop Batteries?

You can mix them in series but not in parallel as they’ll be at a different voltage.

Can you mix and match rechargeable batteries?

Using batteries of different chemistries to power a product can cause damage to your device from electrolyte leakage and over-discharge of the lower capacity batteries. Basically it makes a mess and eats the battery contacts, potentially ruining your product. Don’t mix rechargeable and non-rechargeable.

Can you mix different mAh batteries in series?

Some chargers run each slot separately so mixing is no issue, other run the batteries in series and mixing is a BAD idea. Using batteries in mixed configurations is ALWAYS a bad idea. Even if they are the same mAH, but from different brands or different ages they should not be used together.

Can I use different mAh batteries in parallel?

It is fine, just add all the mah up together, make sure they are all the same voltage/cell count and try not to have the individual batteries be too different in states of discharge.

Can I use Eneloop charger with other batteries?

Eneloop batteries can generally be charged with any kind of NiMH battery charger. Duracell, Energizer and no-name. But to keep things simple, you better stay away from these 2 kinds of chargers: Ultra fast chargers and Dumb chargers.

What happens if you mix battery types?

A: As chemistries and voltage vary across both battery types and brands, we recommend that you do not mix batteries. Mixing of cells can result in battery leakage and sub-optimal device performance.

Can I mix NiCd and NiMH batteries?

Never mix batteries of different chemistries, i.e. NiCd, NiMH, Lithium, etc. Never DROP the battery if you can help it as NiMH batteries damage internally quite easily.

Can I parallel two different Ah batteries?

You can connect your different amp hour rated batteries together in parallel as long as they are of the same type. This is to ensure the charge profile selected on the BCDC is suitable for both batteries.

Do mAh add up?

If you use 2 x 3.7V, 2000 mAh cells in parallel to drive a 3.7V nominal load, one cell can provide 2000 mA for one hour or 200 mA for 10 hours etc AND the other cell can do the same. So the mAh ratings add. If one cell has more mAh than the other, the mAh TEND to add when connected in parallel.

What happens if you connect two non identical batteries in parallel?

Although it is never advisable to connect two non identical batteries in parallel because it does not make any sense it is useless and may destroy the batteries. In short, when two non-identical batteries are connected in parallel, current will flow from higher voltage battery to lower voltage battery.

Can you mix solar batteries?

Mixing different batteries is never a good idea. First of all, mixing batteries which are different in type, size, brand or voltage will not even work.

Can you mix AGM and lithium batteries?

Can you put a lithium battery in parallel with an AGM battery? Yes, you can. However, the Lithium battery will drain into the AGM as the resting voltage for AGM is lower than the lithium. That would take several weeks but if charged and used weekly the two types of batteries can be put in parallel.

Can I use a 3000mah battery instead of 2000mah?

As long as they are the same voltage. The mah means milli-amperes hour. It is a measure of power capacity.

Is eneloop a lithium?

eneloop batteries are Nickel Metal Hydride cells and considered “dry batteries”, not lithium technology.

Can I use Panasonic rechargeable batteries with Energizer charger?

Yep – Panasonic Eneloop will work, as long as it’s an NiMH version of the charger. I have a cheap EBL charger that recharges these really quick, too.

Can I use Duracell batteries in an Energizer charger?

So, yes, you can recharge NMH Duracell cells in an Energizer NMH charger.

Can you mix old and new deep cycle batteries?

Never use old and new batteries together, as this may cause leakage or worse. The remaining electrical capacity in a used battery is less than a new battery, even when it was only used shortly.

Can you mix alkaline and zinc batteries?

No, it is not ok. Mixing an alkaline battery with a carbon zinc battery will not improve device performance, In fact, it will reduce performance and may even damage your device or cause battery leakage or rupture.We recommend using the same type of batteries within a device.

Can you mix lithium and gel batteries?

Many people have asked if you can use one together with the HP-40 Lithium battery. The short answer is yes. There is a good way to do that, a better way and a best way.While the car is on and the alternator running, the lithium is usually near completely charged, while the AGM is still slowly building a charge.

Are eneloop batteries NiMH or NiCd?

Eneloop batteries are rechargeable NiMH batteries. They are famous for their extremely Low Self Discharge characteristics. This means that they can keep a charge longer than any other NiMH or NiCD rechargeable battery in the world.

Can I use 1.2 V batteries instead of 1.5 V?

Q : Can I use 1.2 V rechargeable batteries in devices that usually take 1.5 V throw away batteries? Yes, most definitely. Using 1.2 V rechargeable batteries will have no effect on the use of the equipment. In fact an alkaline battery only benefits from 1.5 V voltage at the beginning of its discharge.
