| My search fu is weak, if this has been covered I apologize. Can I safely use these in my NOD |

It should be safe to use, and if you avoid using them straight off the charger, the voltage will settle, but generally it's not considered a good idea - Best to use 1.5v Lithium AA's. They are cheap, and you'll be lucky to go through a set a year. Also, they don't leak, so you won't damage your equipment through leakage either. Regards David |

| Lithium is the way to go with night vision as the others have said. I have used rechargers after I checked the voltage on a meter but honestly it is just not worth it. Good Lithium batteries can last me all year on one set. Plus I can store them for like 10 years. All I ever buy now. |

My Mk4 kite has a power leakage and will drain the AA batteries if left in overnight switched off or after a nights hunting. I just use rechargable ``AA``s
and never had a problem, also toss them in the PVS-7 if Im short on batteries. Just my way of thinking but a bit less voltage is probably better than too much voltage. |

What about the MUM? anything less than 3 volts out of a rechargeable AA should be fine right? Yes, but single AA should be 1.5v. Single battery units have a voltage multiplier to output 3 volts from a 1,5v AA. Seriously, look at lithium,they really last forever for the casual user. One other feature is they don't leak when they die like an alkaline. Never had a lithium leak on me. There is reasons for this but that is another topic. I use lithium because of what I already mentioned and let's face the truth. We all leave batteries in gear and forget to take them out for long term storage. With lithium you won't open the battery compartment and see the white corrosive dust of death inside your scope, laser, RDS or whatever. You can Google about lithium batteries to learn why they don't leak and alkaline do. |

+2....and are great in colder climates as well.

1+ on the AA lithium, last a long long time and won't leak. +2....and are great in colder climates as well.
Vic +3 AND, lithium cells are noticeably LIGHTER than their alkaline counterparts. Every little bit helps when that weight is hanging off your head! |
