Hi Becky,
With the advent of the ULSD (ultra low self discharge) NiMH rechargeable batteries on the market today you can use rechargeable NiMH batteries for almost all devices that use AA or AAA batteries. The ULSD batteries are ideal for low drain uses like flashlights, and remote controls, wireless mice and keyboards, etc. while the regular higher capacity NiMH batteries may be best if you are trying to get the most out of a battery within a short time.
Remember though, it is not advised to use a rechargeable battery in a device that is designed to use a non-rechargeable battery and it is used as a safety type device - like a smoke alarm. Use only the battery recommended by that specific manufacturer in that type of device.
Sincerely,
Curtis

Subject: Uses for NiMH batteries
Hi,
I have a question I can’t find an answer for anywhere. Is there anything I shouldn’t use rechargeable batteries for?
Years ago when I first bought a charger I vaguely recall reading about some uses that were not so great for rechargeables. Currently I have a charger (good for AA & AAA) and batteries which we use for MP3 players and a camera, but not for clocks, remote controls, and other small, not very often used electronic devices.
Thanks,
Becky
