Camelion Lockbox Rechargeable ACCU NH-AA2700 NiMH AA Battery, 2700mAh, 1.2V – 2 Cell Pack

This is a two-cell pack of Camelion Lockbox rechargeable AA pencil batteries: nickel-metal hydride cells rated at 2700mAh and 1.2V, made to take the place of disposable alkalines in the devices that empty them fastest. 2700mAh is a genuinely high figure for an AA cell, and NiMH chemistry is comfortable delivering the sharp current draws that flatten a disposable in minutes: a camera flash recycling shot after shot, a torch running at full brightness, a wireless game controller through a long session, a motorised toy. Each cell is rated for up to 1000 recharge cycles, so one pair stands in for a long run of throwaway batteries. They arrive pre-charged and ready to use straight from the pack, and low self-discharge chemistry means around 85% of the capacity is still there after a year in a drawer. That last point is what makes rechargeables practical rather than fiddly. Charge a pair, keep them in the camera bag or beside the torch, and they still work when you reach for them, which is exactly where cheaper cells fail. For a household or an office that gets through AA cells steadily, in remotes, wall clocks, torches kept ready for load-shedding and a flash for events, a pair of these and a charger quietly ends the habit of buying disposables by the strip.
