Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - AA / AAA rechargeable battery question
Posted: 4/8/2006 6:49:42 AM EDT
I have noticed that on my digital camera and flash lights that in a 4 battery configuration, one or two batteries will always be discharged to about 0.8V-1V (with the other 2-3 at 1.2V) causing poor device performance. If I switch out that weak battery for a fresh battery, the device works properly.

Why does it always do this? Shouldn't the 4 batteries discharge at similar rates?

Yes they should. You may have some bad/weak cells.

+1.  My charger has a status light for each battery.  That has helped me weed out individual bad batteries in the past.

If they are all in serial, they should discharge at the same rate unless some of the cells are bad.  Make sure the charger is working properly also, most 4 AA chargers have 2 circuits (which group together 2 cells).  If one is bad, a pair won't be charged the same as the other.  Mark the cells and experiment.
