Hi guys
I've been searching for a while for this. Can someone help me find a AA battery that is high drain like the lion cells we use but is 1.5 volts. Also could this type work in a nitecore charger. My dad needs this for a camera that takes double A's but it drains too fast.

Thanks for any help.

No sorry I meant rechargeable.
But thanks for the help. Forgot to mention that....I have a fever and am quite out of it. :(

Lithium-ion batteries are inherently incapable of operating at 1.5V. The specific voltage of Li-ion is 3.7V; any batteries of this chemistry that are charged below 2.7V are permanently damaged. So you cannot have a 1.5V Li-ion - you need to use another chemistry. :)

You could try NiZn AA cells. 1.6 volts, not the highest capacity, but very low internal resistance so they work great in high drain applications. You'll need a charger made for NiZn though.

NiZn may kill some devices because they're higher voltage than most devices are built to accept. So I would advise against using them unless the device in question has been properly tested for use with NiZn cells.

Explain the ones I linked above then. ;)

I know, internal regulator circuitry.

Bullshit. Go measure the voltage of a fresh energizer lithium and you'll see it's around 1.8V. There are zero accounts of energizer lithium killing devices that I'm aware of. The 1.6-1.7V of a NiZn is even less harmless.

Witchcraft that no other manufacturer has been able to duplicate.
