Are you actually using Li-ion rechargeable AA and AAA cells? Those exist, but because they put out 3.7 volts, are pretty uncommon. Almost all household rechargeable AA and AAAs are nickle metal hydride, which is a much less volatile chemistry (and puts out 1.2 volts, making it mostly drop-in compatible with alkaline cells).
- skykooler 5y agoThere are plenty of lithium-ion rechargeable AA and AAA cells which put out 1.5v; they have an internal buck regulator that converts the 3.7v to the 1.5v that your device expects.
- CamperBob2 5y agoInteresting, never heard of that. Got any brand recommendations?
- skykooler 5y agoI've used the Pownergy batteries; I don't know how good they are relative to other brands but they work well enough. They charge over a micro-usb cable.
