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.

Besides the change to the name (Panasonic bought Sanyo) and changed the name from XX to Pro as well as the packaging, the only real change is to the number of charge cycles the batteries are rated for (up to 500) and the milliamp (2550 versus 2500 - a bit longer run time between charges). Yes, you can still charge these batteries with your charger or any fast NiMH charger.TammieThomas Distributing

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.

AA NiMH. I use Sanyo Eneloop - much better than the stock batteries and I keep the original batteries as a backup.

Yes they can. As Stan stated, most rechargeable batteries are about 1.3 volts, whereas alkaline batteries start out at 1.5. However, an alkaline's voltage decreases steadily before it is considered "dead." A rechargeable battery maintains a more constant voltage for a longer time before voltage sharply drops off at the very end of its charge. If Sanyo made C-size eneloop batteries instead of spacers, I'd recommend those, but for true C rechargeables, I recommend Rayovac or Duracell over Energizer or others.

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.

I use only Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable batteries & chrger system. They are great w/ long life per charge.

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

To recharge the batteries, you will need to purchase a charger. Here is the link to a charger and 4 AA batteries. I recommend that you get lots of AAs; it's amazing how often you use them. Sanyo Eneloop NiMH Battery Charger with 4AA NiMH Rechargable Batteries (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

I recommend the Eneloop AA hybrid rechargeable battery by Sanyo. These batteries retain their charge much longer than conventional rechargeable batteries.

i haven't recieved my amazon order for this yet but have one from a previouse merchant. it is made to handle lithium 14500 rechargable, or standard AA batteries. just put one in and try it. works great!

I thought these would work too but I also ordered Sanyo NEW 1500 eneloop 4 Pack AA Ni-MH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries just in case. I will have eight working Ni-MH batteries now. Thank you.

I have only used the power 2000 charger and batteries as a set. I have been using the same sets for years and they hold up for what seems forever in my sb900 speed lights. Great product. I use the 1.25v versions. I'm not sure if they are compatible with the 1.5v power2000 batteries.

Hello, these particular Batteries are Double A or "AA" in your Questions you reference Triple A or "AAA" While Sanyo Eneloop does offer "AAA" Batteries that could be used in place of your "Panasonic HHR-65AAABU batteries" These particular Batteries would not be a comparable as they are "AA". You would just need to look for the Sanyo Eneloop AAA Batteries. Thanks

I use 1aa to D adapter from eneloop and it is just as bright and still lasts well so I'm sure you could upgrade as long as the voltage output remains 1.5v

I have the SX130 and when researching the camera, I read many reviews that state rechargeable batteries must be used or else you will be replacing the alkaline AA batteries often. Alkaline batteries are not meant to be used in high capacity electronics except in an emergency when you can't get rechargeables. Many reviewers have used Sanyo Enloop NiMH rechargeables and I have used Rayovac NiMH Pre-charged Rechargables. Try them and I think you will be happy with them.

You CAN use rechargeable batteries. The only failing of this "bridge" camera is that it has no built-in recharge capability (but a lot of more expansive digital camera don't either). Nikon sell you additional rechargeable battery packs. At least the GE 500 used AA's. I bought a lot of AA batteries when I was in Seoul, South Korea. Hope that helps.
