1.2 V NiMH vs 1.5 V Regulated Li-Ion AA: Voltage Curves and Where NiMH Still Wins

2026-09-12

Why a regulated lithium AA holds a flat 1.5 V while NiMH sags from 1.4 to 1.0 V, which devices care (Blink cameras, smart locks, flashes, controllers), where NiMH's surge current, cold tolerance and transport simplicity still win, and how to position both honestly.
