Does anyone have any experience using these with a Goal Zero Guide 10 power pack and Nomad &amp; solar panel? Are there any compatability issues or can I use them in the charge? Goal Zero batteries are not LSD and are useless for day-to-day emergency...

My friend has the same system that you do. He is the one that recommended the Imedion AA NiMH 2400 to me as I was looking for a high capacity LSD battery. He is very satisfied with the performance of these batteries as am I. These batteries actually hold 150 - 200 mAH more than their rated capacity so this could require a proportionally longer charge time due to this. I would imagine you would want to use these batteries as a group and not mix them with the Goal Zero AA batteries.

It would be appropriate for back packers. But I think a better option would be Goal Zero's Gude 10 Plus. My K3 doesn't charge any more by wind or solar. So, I don't know how reliable it would be...I love the idea of combining wind and solar in a small unit.There is a hook off hanging on the bottom. It's actually a metal loop, big enough for a caribiner.But I would check out Goal zero first. I do NOT work for nor do I get compensation in any form from them to recommend their products.

I have never got my digital ranger to work. I bought it used on Amazon. The batteries I put in there are regular batteries. I am sorry, what are NiMH batteries and where can I buy them? I would love to have my night vision goggles work. Going to Contact in the Desert in Joshua Tree soon to look at the sky. Do you know of a repair store I can take these? Thanks

Hi, Just wanted to get back to you... recharge of your Sherpa 50 or 100 or what ever you might be purchasing, recharging the unit depends on the solar panel. I personally bought the goal zero nomad 27 for a faster charge which I can piggy back with the nomad 13 the sherpa 50 came with, so I can get a full recharge on the Sherpa in 2 to 3 hrs. If you go this route, you will need to purchase the goal zero 4.7 to 8mm input cable to connect nomad 27 to Sherpa 50. there are other options for solar panels, but the nomad 27 is light and folds up small for my backpack. Hope this helps you. You can call goal zero directly and they can help you decide what you need.

I too use Tenergy Low Self Discharge Ni-MH D cell batteries in mine. They are expensive but work great. Eneloop AA batteries work with adapters, but they don't last very long.

Ryobi's been using the same battery standard for over ten years. They've been through three generations of li-ion and at least one ni-cad in that time, and any tool will take any battery and vice-versa. You may need to buy a charger that will handle the new battery packs, but the entire point of their One+ system, their entire decade-long marketing campaign, is that everything works with everything. The only difference you should notice is that old tools are different colors than your new battery, and that everything works better now. Not a shill, I swear - just an *extremely* satisfied customer burned by discontinued batteries more than I like to think about.

Recharge these anytime. In fact, best to NOT let these run down entirely, as these (unlike Ni-Cad) have no 'memory.' Mainly don't overcharge. These take about a 2 hour charge, and overcharging in an attempt to bring them up to full capacity cause battery 'stress.' You can get the full, more scientific answers to your questions if you Google. Also, remove from charger after charging.

Jeff, I have used them without problem for months now. It may just be that you got a bum set. I have been running only Oly BLN-1s in my OM-Ds and E-M1 for the last two months, so decided to see how my Wasabi batteries were doing in my bag having not been on a charger in more than two months just for this response. I can say that BOTH my Wasabis were still fully charged (based on my E-M1's battery display) and are working fine. I'd suggest contacting them to see if they can help you out. Jamie.

There are higher output non-rechargeable batteries. These wouldn't power a device I have which will run for about 8 hours with Energizer Ultimate Lithium. I'm groused I can't seem to find a rechargeable that'll power the device.

Sadly you cannot. I wrote a review about how amazon has incorrect information, and even told customer service, but nothing changed. This is the one you want: Goal Zero 12003 Black Nomad 13 Solar PanelThe nomad 13 has a connector that will power the guide 10 plus, NOT THE NOMAD 13.5.

By low self discharge NiMH batteries, you mean disposable? I really know nothing about any of this battery stuff, besides the regular energizers I buy at Target or wherever. Thanks for all the info. I just ordered the camera (made in Japan)last week and should be getting it soon, I want to have the right batteries for it.

I am not aware of any controllers/solar units that can. If this powerpack is a lithium ion type battery none of our charge controller that we carry can support it. Our charge controllers support AGM, Sealed Lead Acid, Flooded, and Gel type batteries depending on the model of controller you purchase. Let us know if we can help with anything else. Kind Regards, AW

I have 2 of these. I have tried charging them, one at a time, with a 20 watt solar panel. They don't charge ... they discharge with the solar panel. I had a Xantrex XPower PowerPack 4 that did charge with the 20 watt solar panel.

I actually use an Energizer charger for my Eneloops. And, yes, it is a smart charger in that it stops charging when the battery is "full".And, as far as shelf life. My kids use them for their gaming controllers and swap the batt's in charger when it's time. I use them in my digital camera and don't have to worry about the battery being dead after sitting for month. I keep a new set in the bag just in case they do die on me. I also use them in my remote controls.I would not recommend their use in smoke detectors, clock radios, or anything that will put a continual and uninterrupted drain on them. Those are what alkaline batteries are for. I actually use an Energizer charger for my Eneloops.

you can charge via USB or the solar panel sold by Goal Zero which is sold seperately..the charge holds for several hours...we charge once every couple of weeks and use daily for at least an hour or so a day off a USB charge. Much like you would woth a cell phone usb jack.
