Hi my wireless keyboard and optical mouse (itouch by logitech) uses aa batteries but I have a recharger by kodak I purchased for my camera that charges nimh aa's, will it hurt to use them in keyboard and mouse?

No manual w/ keyboard or mouse to explain and no cust support currently answered it.

Id like to use them in my tv remote too.

Just dont want to damage anything.

Thanks to all ;)

As long as they supply the correct voltage and current what would the devices care what it is that's supplying it?

To be more explicit:
Yes they will work just fine.
I've been using Ni-MH rechargeable batteries in all kinds of devices for years without problems.

e.g.
Wireless keyboard & mouse, remote controls, portable/clock radios, torch, answer-phone.
I normally use non-rechargeables temporarily whilst the rechargeables are being recharged.

Totally agree with Syl, as long as they are the correct size/volts there should be no problems. The only difference I have personally noticed is that the rechargeables don't seem to last as long in some devices as the regular one use batteries.

"rechargeables don't seem to last as long in some devices as the regular one use batteries"
That's my experience too.
I'm using:
Uniross
R20/D 2300 mAh 1.2v
AA 1300 mAh 1.2v
AAA 600 mAh 1.2v

Also 9v, but not so easy to remove for details.

It is easy to use Rechargeable batteries as you said. But the basic thing is you have to be sure that you did not get drain by batteries. My advice is to use non- rechargeable. so you can say it is somewhat safe.

I cannot understand why non-rechargeables would be "safer" than rechargeables.

One good thing about rechargeables is...
When they have been freshly recharged you can be pretty sure they are "full"; whereas with non-rechargeables...
Even though they've just been bought you don't know their history, and therefore cannot be sure they are "full".

thanks for the info, I will think about it now...Ive not opened up the recharger and batts yet since the digital camera I bought it for went belly up.
( I was given a gift card to a certain big box store w/ cc initials they sent my new camera w/ no packing around it just a small box in a huge box bouncing about! I returned it, hmmm could that type of service be part of thier bankruptcy problem not just economy? ).

Anyway...thanks I just needed to be sure I wouldnt break my remotes and such.

Since for rechargeable batteries it will release more energy when it started to drain. Myself had a experience with the rechargabale one which i used for. I got doubt and i could measure it using multimeter. i found the change in volts and currents. i am Engineer in electronics and communication. So for some of important stuff it is better to use. Non rechargable .

Hi thanks for info thats kinda what I was asking but I didnt know how.
So is it even safe to use them in digital cameras?
Instructions say I can but it came w/ alkaline disposables. (for future reference I mean) The camera is important to me its expensive, if I ever get another that is.

Thanks again for info.

I have been using NiMH batteries in a digital camera for nearly 8 years. I have two sets, one in use, and the other charging. never had any trouble with them, but I have had them for the expected life. and had to replace them.

"So is it even safe to use them in digital cameras?"
Yes.
My son uses ordinary rechargeables in his camera.
He tries to use as high a storage capacity as possible.
Uses 2000 mAh though he says you can get 2500 mAh.

He reckons the higher storage capacity batteries are better able to supply the current without any tendency toward a drop in supply voltage.

He teaches Physics/Science, so perhaps he should know. :)
