6 month testing is serious dedication!! Thanks for posting this information!
6 months of testing? not really, just only the fact that the batteries were unused during 6 months until today.
updated again another result
Thank you very much. And like okwchin I also think this is serious. Wonderful test actually, never saw anything like it before. Good call!
More results added. For the moment, the BTone 2100 is the winner in LSD and capacity tests from the other ones. Let´s see what happens with the Pisen AA 2000
Amazed to see how well the Btones did. Even the 2500mAh Btones did pretty well (though they are really more like 2200mAh batteries). Thanks for doing a long-term test on these. To me there is no point in buying NiMH batteries unless they are LSD, but the only way to tell if they are really LSD is to do time tests like these.
Very nice test. This is some helpful info that is hard to come by. Thanks for taking the time.
Thank you for the results. Does the Pisen results will come in a few days?
You are welcome. I think the same, I only buy LSD cells.
In my opinion, the BTone 2100 are better than the 2500 because of the price and that the fact that they are not 2500 but 2200-2300... The price/capacity ratio...
And about the eneloops I have. I dont know if they are genuine, but the BTone 2100 have slightly more capacity although about the same about LSD...
In this moment the Imax is "over-busy"... I am doing capacity tests of Li-ion batts and when finished I will discharge the Pisens AA to see how they perform. Maybe in a day or two the results of the Pisen will be posted here
Anyone can tell me which Ni-Mh batteries to buy to test them(both capacity and LSD)?
I have purchased almost all the ones available from DX except the Recycko and GsYuasa AA (I am not going to purchase nor the recycko nor the yuasa because of the bad comments in dx forums)
I need more LSD cells!
Interesting. I can see many people have done capacity tests of them. But not any LSD test of them.
Maybe, maybe. Looks good ( I never have purchased at hobbyking...)
Any other?
Is there any cheaper turnigy ones from HK? i.e. a pack of 2 instead of a pack of 4? Or another brand cheaper in a pack of 2?
Thats not going to be the best prices you can get them for, but they all have good reviews on various forums.
Thanks! (you are from Australia, I not, most of the ones you linked I have to pay more than 5$ shipping)
The panasonica evolta, OK but I have to pay shipping (uknown amount)
The Duracell, they are eneloop and I have to pay 5,39$ shipping
The rayovac, again uknown shipping cost
The Powerex are not LSD and I have to pay 8,99AUD shipping
The imedion, again 8,99 shipping
I think I am going to buy the ones from Hobbyking (turnigy), but I am going to "explore" HK website to see if there is a pack of 2...
interesting tests!! thanks for them :=)
Yeah I would suggest using your local version of eBay if you have one or global.ebay.com to search for them and filter by lowest price first.
Also the ones from Hobby King are $1.29 each, you can buy as few or as many as you want.
Shipping will be around $3 for 2 or $5 for 4.
And oops... I realize that the Powerex arent LSD, but they come up in the search I did and it slipped my mind.
One stupid question: hobbyking is from hongkong? They are in china or UK? (I never have purchased there). Where are the warehouses? where are the items stored and from where they are shipped? From china?
I can afford that!
Now please, where is hobbyking shop from? where do they ship from the parcels? That is important for me
