Ill see if i can get my HobbyKing LSD 2200mA cells tested. Ive had them for between 2-5 months and used them on my D10 torches, which pull about 2A on max, which I use about half the time. The cells range from having 2-10 discharge cycles on them.
I charge my cells on a Varta AA USB/12v charger which charges at 0.6-1A per cell in 1 or 2 pairs respectively. I will try to do a discharge and charge cycle at 1A on my icharger106+ and post my results.
So far unscientifically, the runtimes on these cells have been very impressive, especially when the cost of the cells are considered. I think it works out to be about $2 a cell shipped
PS... What voltages do we discharge to, im discharging my NiMh now, but where do i stop.
Ok 1 cell Discharged -
Cell was purchased December 2010, arrived Jan 2011. So far this is cycle number 2 on the cell ( I think)
Charged on Varta charger about 2 days prior.
Discharged at 1.0A on icharger, cutoff set to 0.7v
Capacity measured 2150mA , Time 2:07
Cell was barely warm (not a scientific measurement)
Floating voltage immediately after discharge termination back to 1.00v within 10 seconds, 1.20v within a couple minutes.
Subjective monitoring of the voltage showed a relatively flat discharge curve, holding 1.2 initially, dropping to 1.1v by 1000ma, holding 1.1v to about 2000ma, dropping to 1.0 by 2100ma, and rapidly falling below 0.9v by 2130ma and cease charge at 2150ma. This appears to be a very well maintained discharge curve, which in a practical application of my D10 torches means I barely get any warning of a flat battery.
Heres a link for the battery

If enough of us want to buy it, make a swarm, gets cheaper too.
