Hi, we have ufo lights for our tent, we have used a mixture of rechargable and non-rechargable batteries, neither last more than 1 night on full power.

We want to buy more rechargable batteries but don't understand which ones to buy, they are all so different.

Help anyone?

thank you

Sarah

The higher the mAh rating the longer they will last.

AAA Batteries with be about 900-1000mAh.

Cheap AA Batteries will be 1000-1300 mAh better ones will be 2000mAh or higher.

I usually buy the packs of 12 from maplins when on special offer £9.99 (2000 mAh) these are better then the same rated ones i bought from lidl. Beware though they can be slightly bigger than non rechargable and they maybe a tight fit.

Or the positive terminal may not contact the terminals.

I think they have grown to squeeze as much performance out of them as possible.
