RS PRO, 1.2V, 1/2 AA, NiMH Rechargeable Battery, 550mAh

Nickle metal hydride batteries also known as NiMH batteries are a type of rechargeable battery used every day in various household and industrial items. NiMH batteries have two to three times more capacity than a nickel-cadmium cell (NiCd) battery.
These batteries if stored in a cool, dry place can last for between 500 to 1000 charges or 2 to 3 years. The more you charge NiMH, the longer they last.

Another name for this battery type is a secondary cell.

These tagged batteries are suitable for permanent installation into equipment or assembling into battery packs

RS PRO have a great range of rechargeable batteries and chargers to suit all your requirements. These batteries are cost-effective as the energy supply is recharged and reused. They are also more environmentally friendly as other non-rechargeable batteries are thrown away and replaced once used.

• Tagged to allow for combining into larger battery packs for permanent installation
• Voltage 1.2V
• Quick 4 to 6hr charging rate
• Rechargeable - More environmentally friendly, less waste reaching landfill sites
• Long lifespan – the battery lifespan is expressed in charge cycles. One cycle is a complete discharge followed by a complete recharge
• NiMH batteries can outperform an alkaline battery in a single charge
• Advantageous for high current drain devices
• Increased confidence in the device you are using

RS PRO offers a range of rechargeable NiMH batteries. They are predominantly used in digital cameras, gadgets and other high drain devices, where with one single charge they can outperform an alkaline battery. These batteries can be used in several everyday items:

• Handheld video consoles
• Remote controlled cars
• DIY tools
• Medical devices
• Radio’s
• Torches

Charging NiMH batteries correctly is key to their performance and lifespan. All batteries are supplied with only a residual charge and should be charged at a continuous charge rate before use.

The risk is reduced by not mixing different manufacturer battery types, batteries of different chemistries and by the replacement of all batteries at the same time. Never expose NiMH batteries to extreme heat and be careful not to drop them as internal damage can easily occur.
