So I was looking for rechargeable batteries and do they have to be 1.5v or can they be 1.2v as nimh rechargeable batteries are only 1.2v I believe and lithium rechargeable batteries are 1.5v

So do I need lithium or nimh

They can be 1.2V. From what I've read, 1.5V batteries slowly go down in voltage as they lose charge, a good rechargeable will stay around 1.2V for longer, before going down. So it'll show only 70% charge, but stay in the mid range for longer apparently. Regardless, I've used 1.2V rechargeables no issue.

I was looking at these and it says they stay at 1.5v even from 100% to 0%

So I bought these plugs into a phone charger or USB socket and they lasted 20 hours of playing and they still said 100% charge but I changed them so don't know how long they will last
