Can you use regular AAA batteries instead of rechargeable?

When standard cell types such as AA, AAA PP3 (9V “transistor battery) and similar are used, the use of non-rechargeable batteries rather than rechargeable ones will almost never damage equipment.

What is the difference between 1.5 V and 1.2 V batteries?

The main difference is that an alkaline battery starts at 1.5 volts and gradually drops to less than 1.0 volts. NiMH batteries stay at about 1.2 volts for most of their discharge cycle. Once alkaline batteries discharge to 50% capacity, it will usually be delivering a lower voltage than a NiMH battery.

Are all AAA rechargeable batteries the same?

Rechargeable batteries are of the same sizes (AA, AAA, C, D, Sc and 9V) and are intended for everyday use are the throwaway or primary batteries people use.

Can you replace NiMH batteries with alkaline batteries?
