Rechargeable battery Varta 55608 303 059

The Varta 55608 303 059 is a rechargeable Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery providing a nominal voltage of 3.6 V in a compact cylindrical format. With a height of 19.9 mm, a diameter of 1.6 cm and a weight of approximately 13 g, this cell is designed for repeated charging cycles and consistent discharge behavior. It is suitable for a range of small household and portable electronic devices where a reliable, replaceable power source is required. The rechargeable chemistry reduces single-use waste and offers stable voltage under typical loads.

Advantages

The battery delivers the advantages of NiMH technology: reduced memory effect compared with older chemistries, safe and established performance across many charge/discharge cycles, and lower environmental impact than disposable cells due to repeatable recharging. Its compact dimensions and low weight make it easy to fit into compact device compartments. The nominal 3.6 V output and uniform construction ensure predictable behavior in devices designed for rechargeable cells of this voltage and size.

Suitable for

• Small household electronics such as remote controls, clocks and portable audio devices
• Battery packs or holder assemblies for hobby electronics and DIY projects
• Portable measurement tools and sensors with matching cell size and voltage
• Replacement in compatible rechargeable device modules

Key specifications

• Chemistry: Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH)
• Nominal voltage: 3.6 V
• Height: 19.9 mm
• Diameter: 1.6 cm
• Weight: ~13 g
• Form factor: cylindrical rechargeable cell

How to use

Install the battery in devices or battery holders that accept cylindrical NiMH cells of this size and voltage, observing correct polarity. Charge the cell using a charger that supports NiMH chemistry and matches the cell’s form factor and recommended charging parameters. Avoid forcing the cell into incompatible compartments; ensure secure contact with device terminals. For device replacement, compare physical dimensions and voltage to the original cell before installation.

Recommendations

Charge using a compatible NiMH charger and follow the charger manufacturer’s guidance. Store cells in a cool, dry place and avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures. Rotate and recharge cells regularly to maintain capacity; if storing for long periods, leave a partial charge rather than a fully depleted state. Dispose of worn or damaged cells according to local battery recycling regulations.
