Claimed capacity 600mAh - first one tested gave 568mAh on a Turnigy Accucell 6 at 500mA discharge rate. Semi-button top.
Hold output on a demanding AA (It does have an XM-L in it) light better than a flame Trustfire - both freshly charged, the IMR on its first cycle, the Trustfire with less than 5 charges.
I think I love my eneloops more than my flashlights. I have 100 (72 aa & 28 aaa) and I'm still thinking about getting more. I think my next set of eneloops will be those glitter ones since I already have the white, costco, tones, and XX eneloops. I have so many that I don't get to use them but I do maintenance on them with my C9000's. It's just as fun to me. :bigsmile:
Semi-button top - the button protrudes about 0.1mm from the top of the cell.
Unprotected
Diameter 14.2mm, length 49.9mm. For comparison, an Eneloop with my calipers measures 50.1mm length and 14.3mm diameter. Both lengths include the button.
Capacity at 1A discharge to 3V (Turnigy Accucell 6) - 558mAh. Will try the other three to get average numbers over four of them.
What can I say , thats bad , real bad .. Hopefully this will give anyone reading these posts some idea of what there getting when they buy the cheap chinese cells .
These come with a 100 % money back guarantee (which I feel I will be claiming soon)
Initial discharge results at 500 ma.
1. 0
2. 4
3. 2
4.0
These were discharged and showing less than 1 volt.
I am currently charging and then will discharge but I am not expecting good results. They are made in China and it does say they should be charged before use.
Hmm I may be proven wrong
Charged at 500 mah
1. 1.44v 883 mah
2. 1.46v 1061 mah *
3. 1.46v 1091 mah *
4. 1.46v 1196 mah *
* They sat on 1.46 volt for a long time and kept taking charge??
I may see good discharge results. However they are NOT LSD and in real use would be poor I imagine.
results
1. 785 mah
2. 794

on maha c 9000
Quite good but for the price I'd rather have eneloops. Will recharge and leave for a week and then discharge.
Ok , discharged the 2400mAh Xtar cells @ 500mAh from 4.2v down to 3v ..
Cell 1 did some 2468mAh
Cell 2 did some 2485mAh
Now this is quite a first for me , cells actually exceeding stated capacity .. [ Well done Xtar ] , Its late , and I will discharge the 2600's tomorrow .
The first Xtar 2600 built on a Sanyo 2600 has been discharged .. And much like the Sanyo I tested a little while ago Here , the capacity tested was very close ..
2433mAh for the Unprotected Sanyo , and some 2448mAh for the Xtar [ Sanyo 2600 based ] , Im currently waiting to put in the second cell , and I want to time it so it will finish a little after I get back from the Flashlight Meet tonight .
Ok , back from the meet , and the second one went 2438mAh .
Next will be some discharge [ for current ] tests ... , So hopefully will be able to post a review shortly .
for all your hard work and all the $$ you spend to share with us all of these battery reviews.
