FAQs
Can I use a standard alkaline battery charger with these?
No, you must use a charger specifically designed for Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries.
How many times can I recharge these batteries?
These batteries are rated to be recharged hundreds of times under normal usage conditions.
Are these batteries pre-charged out of the box?
It is recommended to fully charge the batteries before their first use to ensure they provide their full rated capacity.
What is the voltage of these rechargeable batteries?
These batteries operate at a nominal voltage of 1.2V.
Are these suitable for low-drain devices like clocks?
While they will work, they are optimized for high-drain devices. They will function in low-drain devices, but you may prefer alkaline for devices that last years on a single set.
How should I dispose of these when they no longer hold a charge?
Do not throw them in the trash. Please use a local battery recycling center or a designated drop-off point for rechargeable batteries.
Troubleshooting
Battery does not hold a charge after long storage

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Duracell HR6-B batteries, always use a high-quality NiMH battery charger. When using the batteries for the first time, it is recommended to charge them fully to calibrate the cell capacity. For optimal care, avoid exposing the batteries to extreme temperatures, as heat can degrade internal chemistry over time. If you plan to store your devices for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage or slow self-discharge. Always ensure that the polarity (+/-) matches the markings inside your device’s battery compartment to prevent short circuits or damage to the electronics.
