Duracell Rechargeable batteries combine high capacity with the unique Duralock technology, keeping your batteries charged for longer, charge after charge. They are ideal for mid to high-drain devices.

Duracell Rechargeable batteries can be re-charged hundreds of times, they’re great value.

Duracell Rechargeable batteries do not suffer from the so-called memory effect so there is no issue in charging them even when they are not fully discharged.

Good Housekeeping rationale: “when rechargeable batteries run out of power, they do so very quickly, whereas disposable alkaline batteries tend to ‘die’ slowly. This means you won’t get the warning beeps that tell you when the battery in your smoke alarm needs changing if you use rechargeables.” Due to its safety nature, the smoke alarm is not an ideal device for standard rechargeable batteries. Indeed standard rechargeable batteries discharge with time, and this means that for essential safety devices such as a smoke alarm, it is not recommended. We also need to remember that even if disposable batteries are used in smoke alarms, it is highly recommended to change the battery a minimum of once a year. Still can’t find what you’re looking for?

You can use round cell rechargeable in absolutely any device where you would normally use an alkaline battery, unless stated otherwise by the device manufacturer. There are no interference implications using rechargeable battery brands that are different to the device brand. (Please note that this is referring to round cell rechargeables, the lithium different shaped batteries are often developed by the manufacturer specifically to fit a certain cavity size, and therefore only the brand battery might work).

There are no safety issues with rechargeable batteries in toys.

Standard rechargeable batteries do discharge overtime and are therefore not ideal for devices not used often or low-drain equipment.

You can use rechargeable batteries in absolutely any device where you would normally use an alkaline battery, unless stated otherwise by the device manufacturer. There are no interference implications using rechargeable battery brands that are different to the device brand.

Yes, due to Duracell’s built-in safety features, it is safe to leave the cells in the charger overnight. Duracell does recommend that you un-plug the charger after use.

Duracell chargers will switch to a trickle charge when the normal charge is complete. Duracell recommends you unplug your charger when it is not in use.

Yes. All NiMH batteries can be charged in Duracell chargers. Recognize that higher mAh capacity cells require longer charge times to reach full capacity.

A plug adaptor will be required, but not a voltage converter. (The voltage range on Duracell chargers is 100 – 240 volts, 50/60Hz).

When a charger lists a range of charge time, it refers to the time it takes to charge a lower mAh cell. For example, a AAA cell will typically have a lower mAh capacity rating than a AA cell and will therefore require less time to charge.

We suggest trying the following: Unplug the charger from the wall between each use b. Check that the batteries are positioned correctly in the correct slots c. Ensure you are attempting to charge Duracell NiMH rechargeable batteries

Duracell NiMH batteries can be re-charged hundreds of times they’re great value!

It is not necessary to charge Duracell Staycharged NiMH cells before use because they retain up to 75% of their capacity after one year in storage. However, it is necessary to charge Duracell Base NiMH cells before their initial use as they lose 1% to 2% of their capacity per day while in storage.

Duracell NiMH cells do not suffer from the so-called memory effect and it is OK to charge them even when they are not fully discharged. It is NiCad formulated cells that are subject to a memory effect and Duracell does not offer NiCad cells.

Yes. As long as it is the right size, you can use Duracell NiMH cells in any device, however Duracell recommends consulting your device user manual for compatibility. NiMH cells are best suited to high-drain devices – in other words, devices such as digital cameras, which usually drain alkaline batteries very quickly.

No. You can only charge NiMH batteries in a Duracell charger.

They will retain up to 75% of their capacity after one year in storage.

Yes, they can charge any NiMH cells.

Yes, in any NiMH charger, but Duracell chargers are recommended because they are among the safest in the industry.

Duracell Ultra Power is the best and most powerful alkaline battery from Duracell across all devices.

Yes, in any charger, but Duracell chargers are recommended because they are among
the safest in the industry.

You can use rechargeable batteries in absolutely any device where you would normally use an alkaline battery, unless stated otherwise by the device manufacturer. There are no interference implications using rechargeable battery brands that are different to the device brand.

Yes, in any charger, but Duracell chargers are recommended because they are among the safest in the industry.

Yes. As long as it is the right size, you can use Duracell rechargeables cells in any device, however Duracell recommends consulting your device user manual for compatibility. Rechargeable cells are best suited for mid to high-drain devices – in other words, devices such as digital camera or wireless game controller, which usually drain alkaline batteries quickly.

Yes, they can charge any NiMH cells.
