Alkaline batteries are the only type of battery that should be used in clocks. Lithium powered or re-chargeable batteries will cause your clock to malfunction, or not function at all

rechargeables power discharge can be erratic, will screw up timing

alkaline performs the same at 10% or 99%

Energizer, have extra plastic coating on the negative end of the battery, which can cause clocks to malfunction or not work properly at all

If u want to use rechargeable battery for a clock, need a boost converter board.

I used a 4.2V LiOn 18650 for my cuckoo clock. The bloody thing need 4 X D batteries for a total of 6V.

The boost converter board boost the voltage from 4.2V to 6V and lasted about 6 months. Maybe I should add another 18650 to the clock. Will try this weekend.

That's why.. if rechargeable battery can't be used, then there is no point of having battery that can be recharged.

When I bought rechargeable battery, I don't think there was a notice: May or may not work depending on device.

So if a battery didn't work, it must be the device problem.

That has been my experience. But those are the cheap wall clocks. Alkaline will cause malfunction. Rechargables are 1.2V, haven't really tried them.

rechargeable output only 1.2V compared to non-rechargeable is 1.5V.
So, this clock need 1.5V.
