FAQS

The answer depends on the particular camera or device. But in many cases you can not.  Because the size, shape and voltage of alkaline and lithium ion batteries are different they are not interchangeable.  However, some camera makers have designed some of their cameras in a way that allows the camera to work with either AA size batteries or CRV3 type lithium batteries.  If your camera or other device can use different types (chemistries) of batteries the Users Manual should mention it. Also check here to see if your camera can use the rechargeable CRV3 batteries that we carry. Important - There are several different kinds of rechargeable CRV3 lithium ion batteries now available under various brands and they cannot use each others chargers - they are designed as a set and have different charging requirements. This is one area, unlike NiCD and NiMH batteries that you need to get one brand of rechargeable baattery, and its matching charger, and stick with it
