[#1950196]

I've ordered a Cree light and some 3000ah batteries from DX to use as a helmet light.

Can I use any standard AA battery charger with these batteries or do I need the specific one I was told I should get?

I have a couple of chargers that would fit the bill and I don't see the point in buying another if I can use one of these.

Cheers

Like trailseeker says.

If youve bought Li-Ion cells you'll also need a specific li-ion charger for them.

Are they the single cells that are protected?

Have got home and looked at my order and discovered that they're Ni-Mh batteries, not lithium so I assume I can use a regular AA charger....

Yes, I know, check before posting.... ๐Ÿ˜ณ

NiMh is fine with constant current chargers- "NiCad chargers"
