Power Reimagined.

Not “4 batteries in a box.” The next generation of rechargeable AA — the highest verified capacity in the category, paired with the CW505 4-slot smart charger that charges all four cells in parallel from any USB-C source.

4,440 mWh per cell. 1.5V flat output. 1,600+ cycles. 2-hour USB-C fast charge.

The 5 Bullets

① 4,440 mWh Ultra Capacity + Stable 1.5V Constant Output

SCIGOLD’s AA Li-ion uses next-generation lithium-ion technology to deliver 4,440 mWh per cell with rock-stable 1.5V regulated output. Compared to traditional 1.2V NiMH batteries, that’s stronger and more stable power — especially for Xbox controllers, VR headsets, DSLR cameras, and external flashes that suffer from NiMH voltage sag.

② 1,600+ Cycle Life — Replace Thousands of Disposables

Each cell handles 1,600+ recharge cycles with low self-discharge. Over its lifetime, one cell replaces approximately 500–1,500 disposable alkaline AAs. The 4-pack kit replaces an estimated 2,000–6,000 single-use batteries.

③ 2-Hour USB-C Fast Charging

With 5V/3A USB-C fast charging, the case fills 1–4 cells in about 2 hours. Power it from anything that charges your phone — laptop, power bank, car adapter, USB-C wall charger. No proprietary dock, no AC brick, no separate cables.

④ CW505 4-Slot Independent Smart Charger

The CW505 is the differentiator. Charger and travel container in one, slim flip-lid design that closes into a clean rectangle. Independent per-slot charging — each cell terminates at its own optimal voltage. Built-in smart-recognition chip works only with SCIGOLD lithium cells (prevents accidental misuse). Per-cell LCD status shows each cell’s charge level in real time. Comprehensive Smart Protection System guards against over-charge, over-temperature, and short circuits.

⑤ Built for High-Drain Devices

With 3A max discharge output per cell, SCIGOLD AA Li-ion reliably powers high-current devices: Xbox controllers, Meta Quest 2/3/3S controllers, smart locks, DSLR cameras, wireless microphones, flashlights, RC vehicles, electric toothbrushes, kids’ toys, remote controls, kitchen scales, wireless mice, outdoor gear — anywhere AAs are used.

How It Works

Full in 2 hours. Four steps.

  1. 1

    Drop the cells into the charger

    Place your SCIGOLD AA 1.5V Li-ion cells into the CW505 4-slot or CW508 8-slot charger, matching the + and − terminals shown in each slot. The smart chip recognizes SCIGOLD cells automatically.

  2. 2

    Connect any USB-C power source

    Plug a USB-C cable into the charger and connect it to any 5V/3A source — a phone wall charger, laptop USB-C port, GaN brick, power bank, or car charger. No proprietary adapter needed.

  3. 3

    Watch the per-cell status display

    The LCD (CW505) or per-slot LED (CW508) shows each cell charging independently. A nearly empty cell and a half-full one both charge to their own correct 1.5V target and stop when done.

  4. 4

    Done in about 2 hours

    Four cells charge from empty to full in roughly 2 hours at 5V/3A. Charging stops automatically when each cell is full — the Smart Protection System guards against over-charge, over-temperature, and short-circuit, so it is safe to leave plugged in.

Frequently Asked

Quick answers, before you buy.

What is the actual capacity of the SCIGOLD AA Li-ion Kit?

Each cell delivers 4,440 mWh — SGS-verified under the IEC 61960-3 standard. That's 23% more capacity than the next-best 1.5V Li-ion AA on the market (3,600 mWh) and 58% more than the best NiMH (Eneloop Pro at ~2,800 mWh). The kit ships with 4 such cells plus the CW505 4-slot smart charger.

How long does it take to fully charge the case from empty?

Approximately 2 hours from a 5V/3A USB-C source. The CW505 charges all 4 cells in parallel at 380 mA per slot. A standard phone charger, MacBook, power bank, or USB-C wall plug all work. Slower 5V/2A sources will take ~3 hours.

Can I use SCIGOLD AA Li-ion in any AA-powered device?

Yes — they're drop-in replacements for alkaline and NiMH AA cells. Because the output is a flat regulated 1.5V (not the 1.2V of NiMH), they work perfectly in smart locks, Blink cameras, Xbox controllers, DSLR flashes, and any device that originally specified alkaline AAs. Some devices that detect NiMH for 'low battery' alerts behave better with SCIGOLD because the voltage doesn't sag.

How many charge cycles does each cell support?

1,600+ charge cycles to 80% capacity retention. At one full charge per week that's roughly 30 years of service. In heavy daily use (such as a high-drain controller used 4 hours/day), expect ~5 years before noticing capacity drop.

Is the CW505 charger TSA carry-on safe for flights?

Yes — the entire kit (4 cells + CW505) is UN 38.3 certified for air transport, which is what TSA requires for lithium batteries. Carry-on only (per FAA regulation, lithium-ion batteries cannot go in checked baggage). The kit fits easily in a coat pocket or carry-on side pouch.

What's in the box?

1 × CW505 4-Slot Smart Charging Case (dark charcoal aluminum), 4 × SCIGOLD AA 1.5V Li-ion cells (4,440 mWh each), 1 × USB-C cable (braided, 0.5m), and 1 × printed quick-start guide. No USB-C wall adapter is included — bring your own (any 5V phone charger works).

How does SCIGOLD compare to Eneloop Pro?

Eneloop Pro is NiMH at 1.2V with ~2,500 mAh (~3,000 mWh) capacity. SCIGOLD is Li-ion at flat 1.5V with 4,440 mWh — that's 48% more energy and no voltage sag. Eneloop is fine for low-drain devices; SCIGOLD is better for high-drain (controllers, flashes, smart locks, cameras) where voltage stability matters.

Why is the verified capacity (4,440 mWh) better than competitors who advertise higher mAh numbers?

Capacity for rechargeable AA must be measured in mWh, not mAh, because voltage differs by chemistry. mWh = mAh × voltage. A NiMH cell rated '2,500 mAh' at 1.2V delivers 3,000 mWh of energy. SCIGOLD's 3,700 mAh at 1.5V delivers 4,440 mWh — more total energy. Always compare in mWh for apples-to-apples.

The Story

Power Reimagined.

Six ways SCIGOLD AA Li-ion Kit changes what a rechargeable AA can be.

01 · Massive Power Output

4,440 mWh

Longer runtime. Stronger performance. Built for high-drain devices.

SGS-verified under IEC 61960-3. The highest published capacity in the 1.5V Li-ion AA category — 23% above the next-best competitor, 58% above the best NiMH.

SCIGOLD AA battery with glowing energy core
1.2V NiMH vs SCIGOLD 1.5V Li-ion performance comparison

02 · Stable 1.5V Constant Output

No Weakening.
No Performance Drop.

NiMH starts at 1.4V and sags to 1.0V. SCIGOLD holds a flat 1.5V from full to cutoff.

Devices read full power until the last moment — no false low-battery warnings in smart locks, Blink cameras, or Xbox controllers.

03 · Ultra Thin Smart Charging Case

Charge & Store
Anywhere You Go.

Deck-of-cards thin. Magnetic flip lid. Charger and storage in one object.

Built-in smart-recognition chip prevents accidental cell misuse. Large LCD shows per-cell status, input wattage, and time-to-full. Fits a coat pocket — and your travel kit.

Ultra-thin SCIGOLD charging case held in hand on desk
USB-C fast charging the SCIGOLD case from laptop and power bank with safety protections

04 · 2-Hour USB-C Fast Charging

Optimized. Protected. Done in 2 Hours.

USB-C 5V/3A refills 1–4 cells in ~2 hours. From laptop, power bank, car charger, or USB-C wall plug.

Smart Protection System: over-charge, over-temperature, short-circuit, and over-discharge — all monitored in real time.

05 · Power Every Device

Gaming. Photography.
Smart Home. Travel.

3A max discharge per cell — strong enough for the devices that NiMH chokes on. One kit, every AA-powered scenario.
