Typical Capacity C (mAh): 1000 (discharge with high-resistance)
Permissible Temperature Range: -10°C ... 50°C
Volume (ccm): 7.6
This is the battery type that was used before alkaline.
The cell cannot handle much load, before the voltage collapses.
Conclusion
This chemistry batteries are very seldom used today and there is a reason for it: Low capacity and no ability to handle much current.
A alkaline AAA cell has considerable better performance than this AA cell.
It’s not that people want them, it’s that people don’t care or don’t know the difference when they buy it.
Price and packaging (marketing) are the only things that most people look at.
I wish the EU forced all manufacturers to clearly display on the package how the cell performs. Simply display the C/10 capacity (mAh) and the IR (mOhms) of the cell… Is that too much to ask?
Thanks for the test very interesting to see what we all knew from the past, it was so frustrating to always buy expensive batteries which didn’t last long in my RC car…
