NiMH with a high capacity and very low weight, this is too good to be true.













About 1/20 of rated capacity.













Conclusion

These batteries are a waste of money, maybe something can be recycled from them, but most likely they belong in a landfill.
Rating is bad.

A acquaintance of mine, who has the 3000mAh “improved” version of these ones, answered me “because they're made from light alloy” upon asking him what he thought about the reason behind their much lighter weight versus his old set of branded ones…

Cheers ^:)

So glad that people like you and NLee do extensive testing so that consumers know who the worst offenders are.
