Rechargeable NiZn Battery Voltcraft VC-16044355 1500 mAh 1.6 V

Rechargeable NiZn Battery Voltcraft VC-16044355 1500 mAh 1.6 V is a nickel-zinc chemistry cell that provides a nominal voltage of 1.6 V and a capacity of 1500 mAh. It is intended as a rechargeable alternative to disposable alkaline or zinc-carbon AA/AAA style cells in devices that perform better with a slightly higher cell voltage. The cell delivers multiple charge/discharge cycles and is designed for general-purpose electronics such as cameras, sensors, remote controls and portable gadgets where increased voltage can improve operation.

Advantages

This rechargeable NiZn battery offers a higher nominal voltage than typical NiMH/NiCd cells, which can enhance compatibility with devices that expect around 1.5–1.6 V per cell. The 1500 mAh capacity provides a balance between runtime and compact size, and the rechargeable nature reduces the number of disposable cells used over time. The chemistry provides predictable voltage under load and is suitable for applications that demand a slightly higher operating voltage without changing device design.

Suitable for

• Digital cameras and camera flashes that require higher cell voltage for reliable triggering
• Wireless sensors and instrumentation with sensitivity to supply voltage
• Portable electronic gadgets and handheld devices designed for AA/AAA-sized cells
• Remote controls, toys and hobby electronics where reusable cells reduce waste

Key specifications

• Chemistry: Nickel–Zinc (NiZn)
• Nominal voltage: 1.6 V
• Capacity: 1500 mAh
• Cell format: AA-sized (standard cylindrical cell dimensions)
• Rechargeable: yes — multiple charge/discharge cycles
• Typical use: low-to-moderate drain devices and some moderate-drain applications

How to use

Charge this NiZn cell using a charger that supports NiZn chemistry or a smart charger with a selectable chemistry mode. Follow the charger manufacturer’s instructions for charge current and duration. Install the charged cell in the device observing correct polarity. Monitor device behavior during first uses to confirm compatibility, and replace or recharge the cell when device performance or runtime decreases.

Usage recommendations

Use a dedicated NiZn-capable charger or a charger with explicit NiZn settings to ensure proper charging. Avoid charging with a charger that only supports NiMH/NiCd unless it explicitly lists NiZn compatibility. Store cells in a cool, dry place and recharge cells periodically if kept in storage. For devices sensitive to voltage, test a single cell first to verify correct operation before replacing all cells.
