Can you use different kinds of batteries for one appliance?

I know this may seem like a stupid question, but can you use two different kinds of batteries of the same size for one appliance?





I need to use three AAA batteries and since it's a little uncommon to have them i had to use one Energizer and two Ultra green Rockets and they're either all used up or i can't use different kinds, because it's not turning on.|||yes you can, but it is recommended you change the complete set at the same time.|||You can use batteries of different brand names, so long as there the same type like alkaline. You may want to check to see if they are all alkaline. Although its suggested to have the same brand names just to be safe. You can use those real cheap batteries, as long as they all are those cheapo batteries, those batteries are not alkaline. You can actually mix both types of batteries, alkalines and those cheapos, temporally. But you'll want to replace them within a weak or so, because an acid will build up in the battery compartment, and thats not good. Which Ultra green Rockets sounds like cheapos. Any way they may be dead or maybe the remote or whatever it is, recognizes the difference of the batteries.|||It is not a good policy to mix different brands of the same types of batteries, although most of the time they do work. But what you shouldn't do is to mix zinc chloride batteries with alkaline, lithium or rechargeable.
