Energizer Lithium
 

Does anyone know what kind of cells these are? Are they polymer? Ion? I'm curious because they are 1.2v per cell. I am wondering if they can be charged with our lithium chargers. If they can be, we can build small scale packs out of the AAAs for about $15 for an 8 cell pack. And I thought all lithium packs were 3.7v nominal. If they can build them to 1.2v we could have more precise voltages for stock vehicles. A 9.6v lithium pack would be awsome in a VXL Ruslter.

Im 99% certain they are non-rechargeable batteries- just last longer than normal disposable alkaline or whatever cells.

They aren't suppose to be recharged, but thats because most "normal" people don't have lithium chargers. Three 1.2v cells = 3.6v so we can charge 6 in series as a 2s LiPo pack. But if they are lithium ion we should be able to recharge them.

I have seen the special chargers you can buy to recharge non-rechargeable batteries; get about 5 or 6 extra uses from them before they cant be used anymore. Whether the same applies to these lithium based batteries is another interesting question...

Try it and let us know how it works out! I would suggest doing it outside though

and get a video of your charging the batts for when/if they explode:lol:

I think I will do this. Whats the worst that can happen? :whistle:

not much, 3rd degree burns all over your body, they have to sever the nerves in your spinal cord so you dont lay in traction in agonizing pain for the rest of your life. Use a long extension cord lol

LMAO! They are less than 1500mAh and 1.2v, not much potential for explosion. And since they don't rupture from being over-discharged they may be safe. We'll see. I get a picture and video.

I wouldn't be surprised if they had a small linear voltage reg in them. If they do you won't be able to charge them at all I wouldn't think. Surely someone living in the series of tubes we call the internet has dissected one.

It is Lithium Iron, or LiFe chemistry. I can't kill these things. As soon as they die, I will attempt recharge them.

the "c" rating won't be high enough to hold any kind of rc load, use them in your camera or you're just throwing away money.

how long do these last compared to regular AAs like duracell and rayovac? you can get these energizer lithiums from a guy on rc-tech for 50cents each and he has thousands.... so 15 for 30 of these is the same as buying a 30 pack of regular AAs from the store.......are they worth getting to be used in my TX and flashlights???

Well they are lasting forever in my camera, which is pretty nice. Once they die I will build a 6 cell pack with them and see if they can be charged.

You are assuming that fission will not occur during the charging process. :lol:
