Rechargeable NiZn AA battery Voltcraft HR6 Mignon 1500 mAh 1.6 V

Voltcraft HR6 Mignon 1500 mAh 1.6 V is a rechargeable NiZn (nickel–zinc) AA cell designed to provide a higher nominal voltage than standard NiMH batteries. With 1.6 V nominal voltage and 1500 mAh capacity, the cell is intended for a wide range of AA-compatible devices, offering stable performance in applications that benefit from an elevated cell voltage. The rechargeable design reduces the need for single‑use cells and lowers long‑term operating costs while supporting repeated charging cycles.

Advantages

The Voltcraft HR6 delivers a nominal 1.6 V output, closer to many primary AA alkaline cells, which can improve compatibility and performance in devices that are sensitive to voltage. Its 1500 mAh capacity provides a balance between energy density and cycle life for moderate to high current draw devices. Being rechargeable, the battery reduces waste and can be cycled multiple times, offering cost savings over disposable cells. The chemistry of NiZn cells typically shows low self-discharge and stable voltage output under load compared with some alternatives.

Suitable for

• High-drain electronics such as digital cameras and flash units
• Battery-powered toys and remote-controlled models
• Household gadgets like remote controls, wireless mice, and clocks
• Portable audio devices and LED flashlights

Key specifications

• Chemistry: Nickel–zinc (NiZn)
• Cell format: AA / Mignon
• Nominal voltage: 1.6 V
• Rated capacity: 1500 mAh
• Rechargeable: yes
• Typical use: moderate to high current draw devices

How to use

Insert the Voltcraft HR6 AA cell into devices following the correct polarity markings. Use a charger compatible with NiZn chemistry or a universal charger that explicitly supports NiZn cells; charging parameters differ from NiMH and lithium chemistries. Charge the battery according to the charger manufacturer’s instructions and avoid using chargers that do not list NiZn support. Observe standard battery safety: do not short-circuit, disassemble, expose to fire, or mix with damaged cells.

Usage recommendations

For best results, store cells in a cool, dry place and charge them before first use. Avoid deep discharge where possible and replace batteries in matched sets for multi-cell devices. If a device specifies alkaline-only or a maximum cell voltage lower than 1.6 V, verify compatibility before use.
