Product Features
Technical Overview
These AA batteries utilize Nickel Metal Hydride chemistry, which offers excellent energy density and minimal memory effect compared to older battery technologies. The 2000 mAh capacity provides extended runtime between charges, while the 1.2V DC output matches the voltage requirements of most AA-powered devices.
The physical design follows standard AA dimensions with a height of 1.99 inches (50.50 mm) and weight of approximately 1.07 ounces (30.20 grams) per cell. This ensures compatibility with any device designed for AA batteries and proper fit in battery compartments.
Relevant factors for this section include Application/Usage, Battery Rechargeable, Battery Size, Height. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.

FAQ
What type of charger do I need for these batteries?
The Duracell DX1500 batteries require any standard Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery charger. These chargers are widely available from electronics retailers and are typically sold separately from the batteries. Ensure your charger supports AA-size NiMH cells and follow the manufacturer's charging instructions for optimal battery life and performance.
How many times can I recharge these batteries?
These NiMH batteries are designed to be recharged hundreds of times with proper care and charging practices. The exact number of cycles depends on usage patterns, charging equipment, and storage conditions, but Duracell engineers these cells for extended reuse, making them significantly more cost-effective than disposable batteries over their lifespan.
What devices are compatible with these AA batteries?
These batteries are compatible with any device designed for AA cells, particularly power-intensive applications like digital cameras, video game controllers, high-powered flashlights, wireless keyboards and mice, portable radios, and other household electronics. The 1.2V DC output matches standard AA voltage requirements, while the 2000 mAh capacity provides extended runtime for demanding devices.
How does Duralock power preserve technology work?
Duralock technology significantly reduces the self-discharge rate of these NiMH batteries, allowing them to retain up to 80% of their charge after one year of storage. This means batteries remain ready for use even after extended periods of inactivity, reducing the need for frequent recharging before use and minimizing energy waste from self-discharge.
What is the difference between NiMH and other battery chemistries?
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) chemistry offers higher energy density than older Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) batteries with minimal memory effect, meaning they can be recharged without needing full discharge cycles. Compared to alkaline batteries, NiMH cells are rechargeable hundreds of times, provide more consistent voltage output during discharge, and are more environmentally friendly due to reduced waste.
Can I mix these batteries with other types or brands?
It is not recommended to mix different battery chemistries, brands, or charge levels in the same device. For optimal performance and safety, use batteries of the same type, age, and charge state together. Mixing batteries can lead to uneven discharge, reduced performance, and potential leakage or damage to your devices. Always replace all batteries in a device at the same time.
