GP Batteries Recyko 3000 D rechargeable battery 3000 mAh NiMH 1.2 V

The GP Batteries Recyko 3000 D rechargeable battery is a Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) cell with a nominal voltage of 1.2 V and a rated capacity of 3000 mAh. Supplied as two D-size cells, this battery is intended for devices that require high-capacity, replaceable power sources. The battery's construction and chemistry enable repeated charging cycles while maintaining usable capacity for sustained operation in medium- to high-drain applications.

Advantages

GP Recyko 3000 D batteries provide a balance of capacity and rechargeability, offering the ability to be reused many times compared with disposable cells. Their NiMH chemistry delivers stable voltage under load and improved energy density relative to older rechargeable chemistries. The D-size format supplies longer run times in compatible equipment, and the pair packaging simplifies replacement of both cells at once for devices that require two batteries.

Suitable for

• Portable lighting such as large flashlights and lanterns
• Outdoor equipment and camping devices
• Toys and hobby equipment with D-cell compartments
• Household appliances requiring D-size rechargeable cells
• Emergency kits and backup power applications

Key specifications

• Chemistry: Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH)
• Nominal voltage: 1.2 V
• Rated capacity: 3000 mAh
• Physical size: D (cylindrical)
• Quantity: 2 pieces per pack

How to use

Charge the GP Recyko 3000 D cells using a charger compatible with NiMH D-size batteries and follow the charger's instructions regarding charge current and termination method. Insert the cells into the device ensuring correct polarity and secure contact with terminals. For best results, charge the batteries before first use and after each deep discharge cycle. Observe the device manufacturer's recommendations for battery orientation and contact cleaning to ensure reliable operation.

Usage recommendations

To maximize service life and performance, store batteries in a cool, dry place and avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures. Use a charger with appropriate NiMH charging profiles and avoid overcharging. If storing for extended periods, recharge to around 40–60% capacity and check charge level every few months. Dispose of batteries at designated recycling points in accordance with local regulations.
