Thanks to Solarforce , I got the opportunity test there new battery releases [ Both RCR123A and 18650 ]
So for 2011 , I was kind of hoping to collect some RCR123A's to do a more formal over all test in two parts .
1st part would be performance related
2nd part would be a self discharge test , same as I did last year , but using the cells tested [ same vintage - hopefully ]
I am looking for FREE Batteries as putting together a nice collection would be some what expensive .. [ and I already have a nice RCR123A collection , though of varying vintage ] and I dont need more .. But to be fair , and equal , it would only be right to test new cells .
So Im hoping if any Manufacturer / Re-seller / Distributor , sees this request , to please contact me about taking part .
I will do the rounds , [ requests ] , and see if I can get any interest going in this ...
I hope you get all the batteries you can get from all the Manufacturer’s / Re-seller’s & Distributor’s because your battery tests are a huge part of what I used as reference when buying my own personal batteries.Thanks for all of your hard work.
The test was going to be posted here [ and a few other places = max exposure ] ..
I already contacted one HK - re seller - manufacturer ? - as they had some never seen cells before ..
Contacting DX is hard , ill see about KD after posting a review [ BAttery charger ] , They have a charger I was interested in all last year , but the product description was non existent ..
For some reason KD has been real chatty recently ... ? So after the review [ I hope its a good charger ] ill hit them up with the idea ..
+ Some of the budget dealers have a good choice of cells , but I wont hold my breath .
Would be very nice though to put together 15 or 20 different RCR123A's and sorting them out . [ Would take a lot of the BS factor out of the equation ]
I really find it a little annoying when people rubbish everything not AW .
So since we are starting a new decade , well , the best laid plans eh ! [ But I will try and do this ]
