Yes you can, but very rarely this can be bad for your device as it could have a massive difference if you use many batteries (e.g. if it is a device that needs 6 batteries the 1.2v altogether will be 7.2v and the 1.5v altogether will be 9v). It shouldn't cause problems as you are using only 4 but if it does try using Nickel-Zinc rechargeable batteries as the have a voltage of 1.6 which is closer to 1.5v.

Previous Answer:

yes you can.... but whatever device that you are powering will recognize the lower voltage as too low too early. This means that you will get significantly less run time on rechargeable batteries than you would on high quality alkaline. I wisht that 1.5 volt rechargeables could be made but apparently it is too difficult for their puny little minds to handle.

yes as long as you dont store them for long times baterys will phis

and aslo might not work if the camera was fused.

check your manual, it usually says what you can and can't use.

normal AA alkaline batteries won't last as long, maybe 20 pictures or so...

go with energizer lithium batteries because they work waaaaaaaaaay better in digital cameras.

Since it is typical for rechargeable batteries to be rated less than non rechargeable batteries, manufacturers have taken that into account when they design the circuits. You can figure out a rough estimate of the total power available by multiplying the 1.2VDC - 1.25VDC by the mAh (typically for a AA rechargeable NiMh battery is 1500 to 2250mAh) It's a good idea to pay attention to this when comparing before purchasing Rechargeable batteries.

Can you convert a 48V golf cart using 6 8V batteries to 4 12V heavy duty deep cycle batteries?

Why would you want to do that? With the (4) 12V Deep Cycle's your run-time will be MUCH less.Club Car golf cart's for 2009 just switched back to the (6) 8V batt system for their new Precedent models. Too many voltage problems with the (4) - 12V's, that's why Club Car went back to the (6) 8V's.Optimum 48V set up is (8) 6V's for long run time and easy 12V accessory. With the (6) 8V's, you just get a 48V to 12V REDUCER to run whatever accessories you like. Can be found on eBay for $60.


Can you connect 8 AA 1.5V batteries so that it produces 12V and can you also charge those batteries by hooking them up to a 12V source?

If you are trying to construct a cheap car battery ... one word ... DON'T !! Yes, it will create 12 volts, but it won't have enough cranking power to start an engine, let alone run the starter motor. Best advice for re-charging: only rechard those batteries that were designed for recharging. You risk having the batteries explode otherwise. Exploding battery is not a pretty sight. Shrapnel from the casing and the inner components fly in every direction and will cause serious injury.

Yes, the Bosch CLPK31-120 12V Max 3-tool Litheon Multi-X may be what you are looking for. It includes cordless options and includes Litheon batteries to stand up to even the toughest jobs.


Can you use a 12V adapter in place of a 9V?

no, different voltage could fry solid state components.

What is 12V and can be used to create a fire?

12V is probably short for 12 volts, the voltage used by regular car batteries. And since 12V can strike a spark, it can be used to start a fire.


Where can I find a 23a 12v battery?

I suggest an electronics store such as Best Buy or HHGREGG, but if you can find one in your area, I strongly suggest looking into a Batteries Plus store.

How do you connect 2 12v batteries to get 24v?

Wire the batteries in "series". Place jumper from neg (-) terminal to the pos (+) terminal on the other battery. You will have 24V across the remaining terminals.


Which battery is used in 12V soar penal?

Solar panels often are used to charge 12V Sealed Lead Acid batteries of varying capacities. 12 volt batteries should be charged between 12.4 and 14V, so a regulator should be used to cap the voltage and prevent battery damage.


How do you wire four 12 volt batteries to get 36 volts and 48amps?

Four 12V batteries may not be connected end to end to obtain 36 Volts. But four 12V batteries can be connected end to end to provide 48V and push 36 amps. The actual answer to your question suggests that you drop one 12V battery and use three, not four 12V batteries end to end to obtain 36V.


Where do you purchase cheap 12v batteries?

The easiest place to locate a 12v battery would be from a local AutoZone, or autozone.com. The prices vary, but a low end model with a year warranty should run you about $39.99 USD.


What is the difference between 12V automotive and 12V marine batteries?

without knowing exactly the types of batteries you are talking about but generally marine batteries are a higher quality battery and have higher amp hour ratings which basically means they can turn the stater for longer


What is the voltage that is carried out by automobile batteries?

Virtually all automotive batteries nowadays are nominal " 12V " batteries, but will measure up to 13.6V when fully charged.


Explain why a 24v system that runs off of 4 batteries which includes a 12v feed- that's powered by two of the batteries are getting no charge from the alternator.. the other two are charged well.?

With the batteries in series, the alternator provides the same current, and therefore the same charge to all the batteries. The alternator can take no account of any current being drawn from the 12V take off point. Part of the charge current is being fed to the 12V load and not to the batteries. Therefore, the 12-24V batteries are being fully charged while the 0-12V batteries are being partially charged. Over a period of time, the difference between the charge levels will become more obvious.


What is a 12v battery used for?

12v batteries can be used in a variety of situations. Some of the most common uses are in power tools, cars, motor boats and outdoor power generators.
