subject: Some More Information about Rechargeable Batteries aaa [print this page] Batteries fall into two categories- rechargeable batteries and non-rechargeable. Both kinds of batteries come in various shapes and sizes, depending on their application. The non rechargeable batteries use an alkaline chemical which gets converted to electrical energy. These batteries die out once the chemical is exhausted. On the contrary, the rechargeable batteries are made of chemicals like nickel cadmium (NiCd), nickel metal hydride (NiMH), lithium ion (Li-ion) etc for which the process of chemical formation can be reversed by supplying current in the opposite direction i.e. with opposite polarity.
Rechargeable batteries are used in applications where power needs to be provided for endured periods. Some common applications of these are automobile starters, cars, motorbikes etc. The batteries used here are called lead acid batteries and are large, the rechargeable battery aaa is a very tiny battery used for much smaller applications such as operating a remote or any other electronic device which needs power of the order of 1.2V, though these devices are tuned to work under reduced voltages of 0.9 1.1 V .
The rechargeable battery aaa weighs only about 11.5 grams and is approximately 4.5 cm tall. Hence these batteries are very convenient to carry around. All rechargeable batteries have a limit on the number of times they can be recharged because of the deterioration which occurs during each charge/discharge cycle. The number of charge cycles of an average rechargeable battery aaa ranges from 500-1000 depending on the type of chemicals used and may also be affected by climate and usage.
The rechargeable batteries aaa are inexpensive and hence can be used in place of the non rechargeable ones for long term use. The battery may be available for as low as $2. There are several websites which give a comparative analysis of these batteries so one can choose based on their application.
