Alpo Posted January 16 Posted January 16 I was wondering why they didn't make a phone recharger that took batteries. They used to. So I did a search. And they do. Runs off four double As. Alkaline deviled As, only. I wonder why lithium won't work? Quote

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted January 16 Posted January 16 PLUS ONE for MASHAL Mo!! Horse Pucky, Were there actually 57 THOUSAND deaths per year from "batteries" the hue and cry would be long and very loud!! Internet Garbage is still Garbage. Quote

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 16 Posted January 16 No battery is 1.5V all the time. Lithium batteries are by nature 3+V. It is only by dumbing down the Chemicals that they can be made 1.5 and that is not for their lifetime. A manufacturer wants to promise that his product will work but he can specify the circumstances that he will guarantee. For him lithium is a wildcard. Better to just say no than to list the cases that work. Quote Battery types Alkaline: A disposable battery with a nominal voltage of 1.5 volts Zinc-carbon: A disposable battery with a nominal voltage of 1.4 to 1.7 volts Lead-acid: A rechargeable battery with a nominal voltage of 12 volts Li-ion: A rechargeable battery with a nominal voltage of 3.7 volts Lithium titanate: A lithium-ion battery with a nominal voltage of 2.40 volts LiFePO4: A lithium-ion battery with a voltage that can be 12 volts, 24 volts, or 48 volts Quote

Some battery types it describes the voltage of the individual cell and in others like the Lead-Acid and LiFePo4 it is describing the voltage of a bank of cells. 1 Quote

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 16 Posted January 16 My Chevy still has a two cigarette lighters and I have plug in chargers that I use to charge / recharge / top of my flip phone and a whole herd of other things. Very expensive. IIRC they were less than $10.00 each at a grocery store. 1 Quote
Texas Joker Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Some electronics are VERY voltage specific. Alkaline aa's are 1.5 volts. While lithium aa's are more like 1.8v. Alkaline have a discharge profile that is a steady curve while lithium tends to run mostly flat until it falls off like a cliff. I have a scope that won't boot up with lithium but put some copper tops in it no issues. 1 Quote
