Product Information
Full details
The Paleblue C Lithium-Ion Rechargeable Batteries are designed for environmentally conscious consumers and heavy users of high-drain household devices like headlamps, radios, and game controllers. By offering consistent 1.5V output and rapid USB-C charging, these batteries eliminate the need for thousands of single-use cells; however, they require a specific USB-C power source for charging rather than a traditional battery dock.

FAQs
Can I use a standard battery charger for these?
No. These batteries must be charged via the integrated USB-C port. Using a standard alkaline battery charger may damage the batteries or the charger.
How long does a charge last?
The duration depends on the drain of your device. Because they are 2800 mAh, they provide substantial runtime for high-drain electronics compared to smaller capacity cells.
Do these batteries have a memory effect?
No, lithium-ion technology does not suffer from the 'memory effect' associated with older Ni-MH batteries, meaning you can top them up whenever you like.
What is the benefit of 1.5V constant voltage?
It ensures your electronics receive the exact power they were designed for, preventing dim lights or intermittent operation often seen with 1.2V rechargeables.
Are these batteries safe for air travel?
Yes, they meet standard safety certifications like UN38.3, though you should always check with your airline regarding specific regulations for lithium-ion cells.
How do I know when they are fully charged?
The integrated battery level indicator on the cell will signal when the charging process is complete.
Troubleshooting
Battery does not charge when plugged into a USB port.
Ensure the USB cable is fully seated and the power source (adapter or computer) is turned on and functioning correctly.
Device is not powering on despite a full charge.
Check the battery contacts for debris and ensure the polarity is correctly aligned within the device's battery compartment.
Indicator light is flashing unexpectedly.
Disconnect the battery from the power source, wait 30 seconds, and reconnect. If the flashing persists, check for any visible damage to the charging port.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly faster charge times compared to standard Ni-MH batteries.
- Consistent power output prevents the 'dimming' effect seen in traditional rechargeables.
- Eliminates the cost and waste of purchasing thousands of disposable C batteries.
- Integrated USB-C charging removes the need for a separate bulky battery charger.
- Wide operating temperature range of -20 to 60 °C.
Cons
- Higher initial investment cost compared to disposable alkaline batteries.
- Requires a USB power source to charge, which may be inconvenient for some users.
- Cannot be charged in standard alkaline battery chargers.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Paleblue batteries, connect the included USB-C cable to a standard USB power adapter or computer port. The built-in indicator lights will signify when the battery is charging and when it has reached full capacity. Because these are 1.5V lithium-ion cells, they are compatible with almost all devices designed for standard C-cell batteries, but do not attempt to charge them in external nickel-based battery chargers. Store your batteries in a cool, dry place and ensure they are not subjected to physical damage or punctures. If you are storing the batteries for long periods, it is recommended to top them off once every few months to maintain peak health.
