hi

i was just wondering if its ok to mix recgargeable batteries with normal ones...i ask cos 3 rechargable AA's and one normal would give me 5.1v thus removing a voltage problem i've mentioned elsewhere

thanks peeps

What’s wrong with volt regs?

One 7805, a cap or two, an in and an out. Share grounds. 

Did someone scare you about regulators?

u can do it with NiMH and alcaline, but NEVER do it with Lithium-anything cells.
