Why aren’t rechargeable batteries recommended for remote controls, radios, and medical or safety devices?
I was looking to get an Energizer Family Battery Charger and I noticed something that said “Rechargeable batteries are not recommended for remote controls, radios, and medical or safety devices, such as smoke detectors — use alkaline batteries in these products.” Why is that?
re chargeable batteries have a lower internal resistance. The will discharge themselves when left alone. Alkaline have a high internal resistance and have a longer shelf life.
Alkalines are used when you need a battery to be there after sitting idle.
rechargeables are used when you cycle the device often.
I use rechargeable in all my radio (TRANSCEIVERS) but never in a portable broadcast band radio that I expect to work wen we have bad weather. I use rechargeables in my remote control toys because they produce more current over a longer period of time, but never in a TV type remote.
