My first set came with only 10 batteries — They sent me a replacement set — All 16 were in the bag but were all out the boxes — these batteries are all testing 1800- 1900 — No where near 2800 mah
My 16 pack came in a box with four sets of four in nice plastic holders. All were at 1.3V and took about 1400mah for the initial charge. One did terminate prematurely, but was fine after I restarted the charge. This was on a Liitokala 500 at 500ma.
Running some NOR tests now at 250ma and 500ma discharge rates. No mention of LSD on any of the cells I got.
got mine yesterday and all were good taking a charge fine with no problems whatsoever.
Same results for my 16
Tested one AA last night. Only 1800 mah capacity. Anyone getting something close to 2800?
I think this is one Vipon deal where they are just trying to unload old or defective stock.
Tested eight of them in my two Liitokala 500’s last night. Pretty consistent, but as others have noted, no where near the rated capacity. Don’t really care as long as they cycle well and don’t die prematurely (big if…). Surprised the 250ma rate yielded a lower capacity, normally I would expect the opposite, maybe I’ll switch the units and see if the numbers follow the batteries or the units.
700ma chage/500ma discharge
2002 mah
2059 mah
2080 mah
2063 mah
500ma charge/250ma discharge
1905 mah
1986 mah
1914 mah
1905 mah
None of the Chinese Brand batteries ever test the stated MAH —— some Turnigy tested about 90% — these were cheap enough — good for Grandkids toys
The DOAs aren’t confidence inspiring. The EBLs I got earlier were about 200mah underrated.
Which has to be marketing BS. There are no 2800mAh LSD, and few that are even worth a damn.
I had good luck with the EBL 9V Lithium rechargeables so far, but the EBL AA Ni-Cads had a couple of early deaths in a group that otherwise still appear fine. Curious.
The moral of that story must be when looking for the next great thing or a “great price”: stick with Eneloops or Laddas.
For many years now I only buy Eneloops or rebranded ones because regardless of price other ones either had poor performance or short lifespans, and usually both.
Only eneloops for me. Don’t even worry about rebranded. At $2.50 each and 2100 recharges it amounts to nothing.

Gerber Suspension Multi-tool NXT for $23.38. Anybody have this model? Is it a good deal?

roperly The reviews
Edit:The link for this Gerber wouldn’t post properly but that’s probably ok. The reviews for this model are very poor. It may be worth the sale price but no more. Gerber multi-tools have become a disappointment. I’ll stick with Leatherman.
I have several of the variations of the old Gerber 600’s and the Suspension NXT that I have does not compare from a rigidity or abuse loving standpoint.
