How many times can you recharge rechargable batteries?

i bought some aa's for my digital camera today, and theyre supposed to last longer than typical alkaline batteries (though not as long as lithium). my main concern though it how long can these be recharged before they start losing signifigant battery life?

That is yet to be determined. Your experience will vary from someone else's, but not by too much. Just follow the directions and use them as long as you can. If you got a "bad" battery, you won't be able to use them very long. If you luck out and got a "great" battery, it will last a long time. You can compare the technology to automotive batteries. Some quit after a couple of years without a known reason. Others have been know to last by over double the expected life, again without known reasons. Most are normal though. Good luck.

I did the same thing. You can recharge them quite a few times. Just do it until they don't take the charge any more. GoodLuck.

The package that the batteries came in and/or the batteries themselves should have the information you need as suggested by the manufacturer! Check it!

I would say that you should be able to recharge them until they blow up.. but that's just gurl advise.

Ive used the same set of 4 AA's for almost 2 years, switching off between the two. They quit holding a charge for very long about 6 months ago. I finally bought new ones, these seem the same as my drained ones.

i keep mine on as long as i want (about10 min the least) and the always charge and never lose life

NiCad batteries are good for about 2,000 charge/discharge cycles.

NiMH batteries are good for about 1,000 charge/discharge cycles.

LiIon batteries are good for about 1,200 charge/discharge cycles.

lead acid batteries are good for about 500 - 800 charge/discharge cycles.

This is assuming that the batteries are used and charged properly. Actual results may vary.
