3V AA sized rechargeable battery???
We have a solar powered alarm clock which automatically synchronises with
the terrestrial time signal. The clock is marked 'PRECISION', 'SOLAR POWER' and 'RADIO CONTROLLED'. The display became faint and eventually it stopped working. I took a look inside. There was an unmarked AA size battery (leaking blue liquid which I cleaned up). I measured the battery's voltage which was 1.6V, well above that of a normal rechargeable (1.2V?). I presume the battery is the source of the problem. I tried replacing the battery with both rechargeable and non-reachargeable AA ones, but the unit still didn't work. I suspect that the original battery was much more than 1.6V - maybe 3V? But I can't find any references to rechargeable AA-sized 3V batteries. Can anyone suggest where to get a replacement battery (or other ideas)? Cheers. |
