Product Code : SCL-AM-12101
Vipow AA Rechargeable Battery (SKU SCL-AM-12101) is a pack of four AA nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) cells rated 1.2 V and 1800 mAh, used to power circuit boards, multimeters, data loggers and other low-draw apparatus in school and college labs instead of single-use dry cells. Each cell can be recharged up to 1,000 times. Science Lab Supplies supplies the pack from Ambala, India to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors, alongside its electrical lab apparatus.

Applications and Experiments for the AA Rechargeable Battery
The cells provide a steady low-voltage source for student circuits and portable instruments, and their flat 1.2 V discharge suits most devices built for AA cells. Reusing one set for many practicals cuts the number of disposable cells a laboratory consumes over a school year.
- Class 10 electricity: building series and parallel circuits and verifying Ohm’s law, for example across SWG Manganin Wire (100g).
- Class 12 practicals: emf and internal resistance of a cell, compared with the steady output of an AC/DC Laboratory Power Supply.
- Powering digital multimeters, data loggers, sensors and electronics training kits.
- Estimating stored energy in watt-hours from the 1.2 V and 1800 mAh ratings (about 2.2 Wh per cell).
Never short-circuit the terminals, do not mix cells of different capacity, age or brand in one device, and recharge only in a NiMH charger.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each pack contains four AA NiMH cells of 1.2 V and 1800 mAh, a heavy-duty polymer protective storage case and a safety handling instruction sheet. A NiMH smart charger is not included; a battery holder or charger can be listed on the same quotation if needed.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations can be issued for a single four-cell pack or for a stock covering every circuit kit in an electronics lab. Each one confirms the packing, delivery time and price for the requested quantity, and holders, clips or power supplies can be included on it.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda and the UAE. Raise an enquiry on the contact page or through the enquiry cart; procurement teams can also use the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can these 1.2 V cells replace 1.5 V alkaline cells?
In most devices, yes. Electronic equipment and lab instruments designed for AA cells generally run on the flat 1.2 V discharge of NiMH cells without a loss of function.
How long do the cells take to charge?
With a NiMH smart charger at about 400 mA, a full charge takes roughly 4.5 to 5 hours. Charge them fully before first use, as they arrive only partially charged.
How many cells are in a pack?
Each pack holds four AA cells in a polymer storage case, with a safety sheet. Keep the case in a cool, dry cupboard away from flammable materials between practicals.
Who supplies the Vipow AA Rechargeable Battery?
Science Lab Supplies supplies these cells from Ambala, India, and can add them to a combined quotation with circuit apparatus, meters and other electrical items for a school or college laboratory.
