I have a Flip camera, several years old, and the rechargeable battery no
longer holds a charge for more than a few minutes recording. The
battery looks to be a pair of AA batteries in a plastic shrink wrap
case, , on which is printed NiMH battery Rating 2.4v 2100mAh.

I have a pair of rechargeable batteries, which will fit, labelled as
Duracell AA/HR6/DC1500 mAh/1.2v1300 mAh.

Given that the two Duracells together will be (2x1300) 2600 mAh, is it
safe/OK to put the Duracell rechargeables in the camera? Presumably the
camera will only draw the power it requires? Again, presumably I can
safely charge the batteries by plugging the camera into a laptop USB
socket, which is how the original is charged.

Thanks.
