Can I recharge 2500mAh energizer rechargeable battery with a charger that came in a 2450mAh pack?
Hello! My old rechargeable battery charger stopped working for some reason, but the batteries still work, I recently bought a new Charger with 2450mAh batteries. Am I able to recharge the 2500mAh with the 2450mAh charger? I don’t want it to explode or anything, and I never really understood electricity.
You should be just fine.
You can check with the manufacturer to be sure. But they likely will say to use only their specific cells.
Most modern battery chargers for common cells, AAA, AA, and larger, have circuits that monitor the cells as they charge. It will keep feeding them until “full”. Cells of larger capacity will just take a little longer to charge. They regulate the charging current. A difference of 50mAh will be barely noticeable. You should be able to put any brand from anywhere between 700 to 2800mAh in there without trouble. If it uses the same “socket” for both AAA and AA, it’s all good.
More important is the type of cells it’s designed for as they each have different charging properties. If the charger is for NiMH only trying to charge Ni-Cad would not be wise, or vice-versa. Most modern chargers will work for either NiMH or Ni-Cad and some even support Li-ion. Some monitor cell temperature for added safety.
The risk of exploding a rechargeable cell is very low. Even attempting to recharge cells not intended to be is reasonably safe but they sometimes leak or explode so I wouldn’t recommend it. (putting a standard alkaline in the charger actually works somewhat but is not a good idea). Generally the only thing that goes wrong is the cell or charger die.
