Rechargeable NiMH AA Battery Varta 56706101501 2100 mAh 1.2 V (single cell)

Single Varta rechargeable NiMH AA battery with a nominal voltage of 1.2 V and a rated capacity of 2100 mAh. This Mignon (AA) cell is intended for repeated charging and provides a balance between usable capacity and cycle life for everyday portable electronics, toys, remotes, flashlights and other household devices that accept standard AA NiMH cells.

Advantages

The cell offers a relatively high 2100 mAh capacity for extended run time compared with lower-capacity AA NiMH cells, while retaining the ability to be charged many times for cost-effective reuse. Its chemistry gives stable voltage under load and broad compatibility with chargers designed for NiMH AA batteries. Because it is a single standard-sized cell, it can be combined with other AA cells when multiple batteries are required.

Suitable for

• Portable electronics such as wireless mice, keyboards and handheld gaming controllers
• Toys and electronic models that require AA NiMH cells
• TV remotes, clocks and household infrared devices
• Flashlights, headlamps and other small lighting devices
• Battery packs assembled from individual AA cells for hobby or DIY projects

When it may not be suitable

This rechargeable NiMH AA cell may not be suitable where a higher nominal voltage is required (for example devices specified for primary 1.5 V alkaline cells without support for NiMH). Devices that need very long standby life with low self-discharge might perform better with low-self-discharge NiMH variants or primary alkaline/Lithium cells, since standard NiMH chemistry can have higher self-discharge over several months.

Key specifications

• Cell type: Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH)
• Size: AA / Mignon
• Nominal voltage: 1.2 V
• Rated capacity: 2100 mAh
• Intended use: rechargeable single cell for consumer electronics and household devices

How to use

Use this rechargeable AA NiMH cell in devices that accept AA-size NiMH batteries. Charge the battery with a charger designed for NiMH cells and follow the charger manufacturer’s instructions regarding charge current and charge time. When combining cells in multi-cell battery packs, use cells of the same type, capacity and state of charge to ensure balanced performance. Avoid mixing rechargeable NiMH cells with non-rechargeable batteries in the same device.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the device supports NiMH AA cells and 1.2 V nominal voltage
• Ensure you have a charger compatible with NiMH chemistry and AA size
• Decide if you need single cells or multiple cells for your application
• Consider storage and periodic recharging to maintain capacity if not used for long periods

Usage recommendations

For best results, charge the cell with a dedicated NiMH charger and store it in a cool, dry place. Replace cells in multi-cell packs in matched sets and follow safety guidance provided by your device and charger manufacturers.
