I just bought four rechargeable Alkaline batteries (as known as Rechargeable Alkaline Manganese (RAM)) and a charger. The reason I bought this new type of battery is because it provides 1.5 voltage not like 1.2V of NiMH. I have a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard bundle which have been out of work for probably a year because my NiHM battery could not last long on it1, usually one week use. I guess the bundle’s operational voltage range must be narrow, so I started to seek new type of rechargeable battery which can provide the same voltage as the usual Zinc-carbon battery. RAM is the answer and I bought them with a charger.
They are the cheapest ones I could find on net, I didn’t want to spend much money on this new type of battery. They only cost me about USD$8.75.
I used multimeter to test and it really supplies 1.5 voltage just of out its package.
It feels good to be able to type on a full-size keyboard again.
