Are these considered NiCD/NiMh or what?? Will these work in solar products?

They are NiMh. I have no idea what a solar product is or if it will work in your application. I use them for underwater photography, strobe lights and they work great for that use.The label on the outside reads Duracell rechargable StayCharged.AA/HR6/DX1500 NiMh1.2V/ 1950 mAh.

The batteries are NiMh. There is nothing on the package or the website re: use in solar products; however you can contact Duracell directly through their website.

Hi I have a question regarding solar lights batteries. I bought some solar lights this month and the batteries that came with it is: AA 1.2V 450 mAh NiMh rechargeable batteries. Will this type of batteries from amazon (being 2000 mAh) be compatible with my solar lights? Will 2000 mAh damage my solar lights? Thanks.

Absolutely. I regularly charge Eneloop and Energizer NiMh batteries with this charger. The key is the chemistry of the batteries. All nickel metal hydride batteries should work fine.

It does NOT recharge anything that is not NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride). Those are your usual batteries. The batteries must be marked as RECHARGEABLE. If you're looking for a familiar name brand, try Duracell. What it will not recharge are Lithium batteries--even the rechargable ones. Amazon has some rechargeables by Tenergy and some by a company called eneloop. You can look for three characteristics in rechargeable batteries. One is how many times you can recharge them. Eneloop has some you can recharge 1800 times. That's considerably more than most. Second is how long the batteries will retain their charge. What you want are 'slow auto-discharge' batteries. These are what come with the Guide 10 Plus charge. The third thing is how many milliamps the battery can put out. This can be quite varied. They can be as low as the 600-800 mAmp used in solar lights to high capacity 2400 mAmps. You likely won't find a battery that gives you the best of all worlds. If you do, let me know. Search for 'batteries' on amazon. They have just about any kind you might want.

The enclosed literature does specifically say to use only NiMH. Mine shipped with a Sanyo Eneloop, which for me is the best possible option, since I already have a dozen of the same. But it's AA sized, and unless they used a foolishly voltage-sensitive design, I would expect an AA to at least function. However the current supplying capacity of Alkalines is lower than NiMH, so it's possible that it wouldn't function fully - that seems unlikely though for anything that takes /hours/ to drain a NiMH.

Designed only for NiCad and NiMH. I haven't and won't try lithium or other batteries.

A Nickel-Metal Hydride cell (NiMH) is a specific type of rechargeable cell. The specification describes its' physical and chemical properties. The AA size cell is the same physical size in any type or brand. Chemically, a NiMH cell contains the same chemical makeup although different cells could be physically different inside. Different brands of AA NiMH cells can be used together. However, I would hesitate to intermix those with different mAH (milli Ampere Hour) ratings due to the difference in discharge rates and recharging rates. If all the AA cells have the same Specs. (That is, New, NiMH, 1800 mah, for example) they should perform as expected. (Be aware that the Specs. on some cells are overstated.) Don't mix new ones with old ones. Don't mix NiMH with NiCD (Nickel -Cadmium), alkaline cells or any other type. Also, you didn't ask but don't mix different size cells of any type whether series or parallel connected. When it's "all said and done", there IS a difference in brands. Some are just better than others - probably due to greater care in the purity of chemicals and manufacturing. All these things considered, I believe you can safely use Eneloop NiMH AA's with Amazon Basics NiMH AA's of the same mah rating without any problem. I wouldn't hesitate. I hope this is helpful.

I put them in solar lights with rechargeable capabilities. So far, after 10 months, They still go strong. Sorry, my application is not as yours.

The batteries that came with mine are size AA, Ni-Cd, 1.2 V rated at 600 mAh. Our local Home Depot carries these in the outdoor solar lighting section. We actually replaced some of ours with size AA, Nickel Metal Hydride batteries, 1.2 V, rated at 1200 mAh, also sold at Home Depot in the same section (for a little more money). Our thought was that they might power the lanterns longer into the night. And they seem to work. We do have problems with some of the lanterns that I think are due to poor contacts, possibly in the battery holder and possibly in the switch. I say this because sometimes the lights will go on at night, or be brighter, if you rapidly turn the switch on and off a few times or press on the battery cover to seat the battery better.

They are supposed to be. I bought 2 about 1 1/2 years ago. One quit after about 4 months and the other one is working fine. Both the solar panel and the light fixture are in full weather conditions and it still works flawlessly. They are quite bright for a solar lamp.

Your question relates to AAA cells. I ordered and reviewed AA cells in this same Amazon Basics brand. These are rechargeable Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) cells. I found the AA's to be quite good. If your solar lights use rechargeable AAA's I think you will find these to be the same quality as the AA's and to be a "happy" choice. Some have complained that the AA's do not have quite the claimed storage capacity (miliAmpere-Hours or MAH) but I have not given them a formal MAH test. However, they have already held up better than any other rechargeable AA's I have used. I suspect you will be pleases.

to work by solar they must have 1. silicon cell to capture sunlight and converted it to an electrical current.2. a nicad batter to store the electricity to use during darkness when it turns on.THIS LIGHT DOES NOT HAVE EITHER SO NO!!!!!! it's a low voltage that works with a LOW VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER THAT USES 110v AC.

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

The Gizmo comes with Ni-Cd batteries. Ni-Cd chargers only support Ni-Cd batteries so I wouldn't try another technology in the Gizmo. Simple Guidelines: - A charger for NiMH can also accommodate NiCd, but not the other way around. A charger especially designed for NiCd would overcharge the NiMH battery. - Nickel and lithium based batteries require different charge algorithms. The two chemistries can normally not be interchanged in the same charger.

The chemistry is Ni-MH. AA2.4V/MSM-plug 2000mAh. Not sure if you can use with NiCD charger. Instructions state to use with specified charger. May have to ask the seller about charger compatibility.

Yes. It will charge both NiMH and NiCD batteries, either one at a time or up to eight at a time. You can even mix NiMH and NiCD. Just don't mix them in the same slot.

I don't know what a nimh is but I imagine if it has USB connection the solar charger will charge it.
