For a standard PVS-14 (single AA, internal boost converter rated roughly 1.0–3.0V):
Safe:
- NiMH (Eneloop / Eneloop Pro) — the standard recommendation. 1.2V nominal is below alkaline, so zero overvoltage risk. Runtime lands close to alkaline (~20–30 hrs), and they won't leak in a stored unit the way alkalines will.
- NiZn — 1.6V, still within tolerance, but harder to source and chargers are proprietary.
Use with caution:
- "1.5V rechargeable lithium" AAs (Tenavolts, Kentli, EBL) — the internal buck circuit holds a flat 1.5V, so voltage is fine, but they drop off a cliff at end of charge with no taper. The low-battery indicator never fires and the unit just dies. Some also run long on the button top and bind in the cap.
Never:
- 14500 Li-ion — 3.7V nominal, 4.2V off the charger. It fits the compartment and will cook the power supply. This is the one that shows up in RMAs.
For anything mission-critical, Energizer L91 primaries are still the answer — ~50 hrs and they hold voltage down to -40°F. NiMH loses meaningful capacity in the cold, which matters for winter use.
