- Are these ready to use out of the pack?
- Yes. They ship precharged, so they work in a device straight away. That charge is partial, so a full charge in a NiMH charger gives the best runtime.
- How do they compare with Eneloop?
- Powerex offers higher capacity, so longer runtime per charge in high-drain gear. Eneloop holds its charge longer in storage, which suits devices used rarely.
- Do I need a special charger?
- Yes. Use a charger designed for NiMH AA cells. A charger built only for alkaline or older NiCd cells can undercharge them or damage them.
- Will they work in any AA device?
- In most, yes. They are 1.2V nominal rather than 1.5V, so a few devices with strict voltage cutoffs may show low battery early or refuse to start.
- How many recharge cycles do they last?
- Powerex rates them for hundreds of cycles. Real life depends on the charger and how deeply they are discharged; capacity drops gradually over years of use.
- What is in the box?
- Four AA NiMH cells. No charger and no case are included.
