Maplin Battery List
Save Money by selecting the correct batteries for your equipment
Alkaline
Alkaline batteries have been around for years and provide good all round
performance. Alkaline batteries can be split into two distinct groups,
Premium and Standard Alkaline. Premium Alkaline are better for high tech
devices and provide about 20% more power than Standard Alkaline
Batteries which are ideal for everyday household devices such as remote
controls and smoke alarms and provide dependable long lasting power.
Alkaline batteries are much longer lasting than "heavy duty" zinc carbon
batteries. Alkaline batteries have longer shelf lives.

Lithium
Not to be confused with Lithium Ion which is rechargeable technology
used for mobile phone and digital camera battery packs. Disposable Lithium
provides amazing performance in high drain devices. Disposable Lithium
batteries last up to seven times longer than Standard Alkaline Batteries
in a high drain device, such as a digital camera or an MP3 player. It is
the best performing of all the disposable batteries, and works well at
extreme temperatures.

Rechargeable batteries
Rechargeable batteries will save you money and in certain applications they
out perform disposable batteries like alkaline. Rechargeable batteries cost
about twice as much as disposable batteries, but you will get your money
back hundreds of times over as the rechargeable batteries will last for many
years. All rechargeable batteries sold in Maplin can be recharged up to 500
times. If you buy batteries at least once every six months for a particular
device, then you should consider switching to rechargeable batteries.

Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH)
The best choice for intensive high drain usage. High capacity Ni-MH
rechargeable batteries last up to four times longer on one charge than
alkaline batteries in a digital camera. Ni-MH batteries don't suffer from
memory effect, so they don't have to be fully flat before recharging them.
Ni-MH have taken over from Ni-Cd as the most popular type of rechargeable,
as they offer much longer run times and they are better for the environment.
Ni-MH batteries lose about 1% of their charge capacity a day when not in
use. This makes them unsuitable for standby applications such as smoke
alarms and a poor choice for very low drain devices like TV remote controls.
Ni-MH require charging before their first use.

Hybrid Ni-MH (Hybrio)
The latest generation of rechargeable battery. Hybrio batteries offer all the
advantages of rechargeable while performing like alkaline batteries in many
ways. Hybrio come charged up and ready to use out of the pack, like
alkaline. Thanks to a unique formula, Hybrio batteries hold their charge for
much longer than ordinary Ni-MH batteries when not in use, losing less
than 0.1% of its charge a day. This means it is much better for low drain
uses such as remote controls and clocks than any other rechargeable
battery. Hybrio is the first truly multi purpose rechargeable battery and
because it comes charged and ready to use, it offers the ultimate in
convenience and long term value for money.
