Choosing and Changing Batteries for Your NanoFoamer V2

The NanoFoamer V2 is a fantastic tool for creating microfoam for your coffee, but to keep it running at its best, you need to ensure you're using the right batteries and know how to change them properly. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of selecting the best batteries and changing them efficiently.

Which AA Batteries Should You Use?

Choosing the right batteries is crucial for the optimal performance of your NanoFoamer. The faster it spins, the better it can transform surface bubbles into microfoam. Here are some tips on selecting the best batteries:

Rechargeable vs Alkaline

We recommend using rechargeable batteries. Not only are they more environmentally friendly, but they also ensure you always have a fresh set ready to go. This means less downtime and more delicious coffee!

Branded vs Supermarket or OEM Batteries

It's best to avoid generic supermarket brand batteries. Tests have shown that these often have significantly less power. Opt for well-known brands to ensure your NanoFoamer operates at its full potential.

Alkaline vs Lithium

AA lithium (non-rechargeable) batteries work exceptionally well with the NanoFoamer, providing 1.5V of power compared to the 1.2V from Alkaline batteries. This extra power gives the motor a noticeable boost. While we haven't tested rechargeable lithium batteries, they should work just as effectively.

How to Change Batteries on the NanoFoamer V2

Changing the batteries on your NanoFoamer V2 is straightforward, though the waterproof seal can make it a bit stiff to open. Follow these steps for a smooth battery change:

• Hold the handle in one hand.

• Push the metal cap forward with two fingers while pulling the cap with the other hand.

• Avoid pulling on the shaft to prevent damage.
