Rechargeable USB battery AA 1600 mAh (Li-ion)

The Fenix AA 1600 mAh (ARB-L14-1600U) rechargeable battery is intended as a replacement for classic AA batteries.

Inside, it is a Li-ion cell that is equipped with electronics that hold a fixed output voltage of 1.5 V during discharge. The battery is therefore particularly suitable for devices that are sensitive to voltage levels and, for example, do not work properly with rechargeable NiMHs or only for a short period of time. The capacity of the battery is 1600 mAh (2.4 Wh which corresponds to a capacity of 2000 mAh for NiMH).

The battery is charged via the built-in micro-USB connector, so it can be charged e.g. from a computer, with a mobile phone charger, from a power bank or other USB source.

It cannot be charged in a conventional charger.

We recommend purchasing a Dual Charging Cable, see Related products.

The battery also has built-in protection against complete discharge and short circuit (maximum continuous discharge current is approx. 1.6 A). The battery is therefore suitable for example for flashlights and headlamps, cameras, navigation and other devices.

When using this battery, it must be taken into account that the remaining capacity cannot be determined by the output voltage. Thus, the devices may indicate full battery capacity throughout operation, but then suddenly shut down. When the battery is discharged, its voltage suddenly drops from 1,5 V to 0 V.

PARAMETERS

• Nominal voltage: 1.5 V (the battery keeps it constant until discharged)
• Capacity : 1600 mAh (2.4 Wh)
• Maximum current draw : 1.6 A (higher current will cause short circuit protection to intervene)
• Charging via built-in micro-USB input
• Charging current : 300mA
• Charging time for a fully discharged battery is approx. 2.5 hours
• Protective electronics built-in at the plus pole provides protection against overcharging, full discharge and short circuit
• Lifetime of 500 charge cycles
• Diameter : 14.5 mm (+/- 0.2 mm)
• Height : 50 mm (+/- 0.2 mm)
• Weight : 19 g

Charging via micro-USB connector

Plug the USB cable into the side micro-USB connector, during charging the indicator light on the top of the battery is red. When the battery is fully charged, it lights blue.

NOTICE

• Cannot be charged in conventional chargers
• Do not short-circuit the battery (do not connect the cell poles with a wire)
• Do not throw the battery into fire or water
• When using the battery, observe safety principles
