Wow, the NICE on actually is fairly nice. Where did you get it from?

Are these the NICE batteries ?

Added to my cart, so they will be in my next order with Fasttech. I'll test them to provide some actual mah numbers. 

Thanks for this review mate, I was waiting to see if the NICE cells were ok, and i guess so!

WOW!!! Thank for the test Trevi_lux… I will order the Nice lithium from FT right now!

Hey Trevi_lux…

What is the no load voltage of the Nice cells before using them (when receiving them)?

(fastech says 1.5v Lithium. If I am not wrong, Lithium primary are 1.7volt)

thanks for the test and efforts!!

as we learn and knew no surprise our P1A is regulated §$%&!ly

has a frikkin 2200mA constant current driver. Typical runtime is 60min as expected from such a high current draw. During the 60mins the light dims because voltage drops quasi-linearly. BA10 has acceptable regulation but for a premium flashlight brand i'd call this rather poor.

Anyone tested these Enelong ?

I read comments at Taobao site, some said are good batteries. I might try a pack since I’m filling FastTech cart with one of these.

Wow! Impressive! Thanks for testing and posting! Gonna have to pick me up some Nice batteries!

+1.  Thanks for the review.  I've been eyeing the NICE cells since FT listed them and been waiting for someone to review.

You do have a collection of batteries. You even provided a data sheet, too. Nice

Anyone tested these “Enelong”

I got 2 packs and I just tested 4 batteries, two from each pack.
Fresh out of the box I discharged them at 1A and I got the following
Battery 1: 1770Mah
Battery 2: 1778Mah
Battery 3: 1776Mah
Battery 4: 1762Mah

Then I charged them and tested again fresh out of the charger and I got the following:
Battery 1: 1882Mah
Battery 2: 1885Mah
Battery 3: 1884Mah
Battery 4: 1883Mah

So it’s basically 1900Mah at 1A for all of them, and very little variance. They pretty much perform like the last Eneloops I got. Not sure about how they retain charge in the long term, but the “out of the box” values are really promising imho.

Wow, they sure looks promising & very impressive balance capacities out from a random blister pack.

For the price, its hard to beat but yea, don’t know in long term usage/storage.

Thank you for your time to test them superpila

*+What’s the Charger +*for Primary Lithium (1.8V): Energizer Lithium and NICE Lithium?

Nitecore i4 can work or not ?

AFAIK Primary Lithium are not rechargeable.

Nitecore i4 can charge rechargeable Li-ion & Ni-MH batteries.

I just got the Klarus P1A. Will it make a difference if I use the Energizer Ultimate Lithium as opposed to the Energizer Advanced Lithium which you used in your test? The Klarus is going to be used in an emergency kit. Thanks.

Thanks for putting that old thread back up, it is a very interesting test!
From what I can see, the eneloop will last half as much as the Nice lithium and is twice as expensive. That means that if you are not recharging an eneloop more than 4 times in its life (~10years) then you would have been better off with a lithium primary… I wish to find a cheap 9V lithium primary now… (less than $4)

Thanks for correcting the info on the chart (that you test Energizer Lithium Ultimate, not their “Advanced”)

How about shelf life for the NICE cells — anyone seen anything on how long they last?
And, do they keep a decent output when down around freezing temperature?

Those two features of the Energizer Lithium AA and AAA cells have made a big difference for me over the years, for emergency kits and winter camping use.

I note that Fasttech lists the NICE lithium primaries as having the same shipping restrictions as lithium Ion batteries making them a long wait to receive. For those in the USA Battery Junction has Powerizer Lithium Iron batteries though not as good a buy and I have actually found Energizer Ultimates for less each on some sale offers.

I asked Battery Junction on their site and they said, “the P1A is compatible with only Alkaline and NiMh AA batteries.”

I am ordering this light for an elderly female relative and I want to make sure it works when needed. I intend to send the light along with a package of Energizer Ultimate Lithium Batteries. Disappointed at Battery Junction’s lack of knowledge.

beehaven;

Some time ago I downloaded the technical documentation PDF s from Energizer for both batteries and the only real difference is that the Ultimate Lithiums are very slightly better maximum current drain and capacity than the Advanced Lithium batteries. Same chemistry and voltage output.

Here is the link to their You Tube review. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKs2xBpAyAg

I will buy the Energizer Ultimate Lithium Batteries.

Thanks for your in depth review.

Advanced: 10 years
Ultimate: 15 years

The latest packaging for the Ultimate Lithiums now claims 20 years so the link is out of date or has not been updated. I have some of the packs so marked. Per something I read recently some military tests show a shelf life potential closer to 35 years!
