Rechargeable battery question
 

Last year I bought a quick charger for AA batteries for my digital camera. It
came with four 2000 mAh batteries, which I seem to have misplaced. I'm trying
to replace those batteries and only found 2200 mAh batteries at the first place
I looked this morning. Can my charger handle those or do they need to be 2000
mAh or lower? The literature for recharger talks about different charging times
for batteries anywhere from 1600 to 2000 mAh. It doesn't say anything about
2200 mAh batteries.

Sure. It may take about 10% longer to charge and will last about 10%
longer.

I looked this morning. Can my charger handle those or do they need to be 2000

times

First Ansmann is now shipping 2400 mAh cells to camera stores.

Next take the capacity of your battery (2200) and multiply it by 30% =
2860. Divide that by the output of your charger (for instance the
Ansmann DigiSpeed charger has a 1700 mAh output) and the result is the
number of hours your charger would need to charge your batteries to 100%
from no useable charge. In this case 1.7 hours.

If your charger is a dumb type that has a timer circuit that turns the
charge off after a fixed period of time that is shorter then the anser
your charger would not fully charge the batteries.

If your charger must charge in pairs and one battery is more discharged
then the other that battery will not receive full charge.

So look at your charger's specs to see what it can do with newer
capacity cells.

That's likely because there WERE no 2200 mAh batteries until the past
few months. If your charger accepts batteries other than the type you
bought with it, then it will just take a few minutes longer to charger
the 2200 mAh batteries than the 2000 mAh batteries.
