Is there such a thing as having to many? The more the better... so you can line them all up and number them from 1-1000. When they’re all finally dead, they'll make great slingshot ammo.
You much rather buy cheap electrolytic capacitors for a few usd in 100pcs packages... XD if you need slingshot "ammo"
I presonally like the water "balls" used for flowers. You basically throw a mini envelope of small balls into a bowl of water and in a few hours they are ripe and nice for that purpose. Might be even alot more ecological than the above said capacitors.
Also they are fun to put on tailstandable flashlights or might be just me. I bought a 100 pack of those for my wife and found myself more often playing with them.
Wtg for the discharge results which will give a more accurate result for their capacity but its looking good. Wish I had spent extra and just got the xx instead of the standard eneloops. I have 12 coming and I dont think I really need them.
Anytime Match. It's the one and only thing I can contribute to BLF since I hardly know anything about flashlight electronics. Maybe someday it will all sink in. I guess I'm just a veeeeery slow learner.
Any chance to get international shipping with that price? :/

I've sent out a few packs of these to members here. Shipping is kind of a killer. It's @ $16 to the U.K. and I want to say it was ~$6 to Canada. I have no idea what it would be to Argentina. But yea, we're kind of lucky to have biglots here. I just picked up another charger/4pack plus another 8pack because they're working out so well.
Finally, after 40 hours or so (I've acually been testing these 8 cells since 2-23-11 which is 4 days of testing---man I need a life), the final break-in numbers are here and they are right where I'm used to seeing sanyo eneloop numbers at.
Break-In @ 2500mah:
1. 2476 mah -- 1.43v
2. 2444 mah -- 1.42v
3. 2439 mah -- 1.42v
4. 2454 mah -- 1.43v
5. 2456 mah -- 1.42v
6. 2450 mah -- 1.43v
7. 2467 mah -- 1.43v
8. 2448 mah -- 1.42v
Now all I have left is to do all of these tests I've been doing to the last 4 XXeloops (cells 9-12) and then I'm done.......for now anyway.:bigsmile:
You should make a runtime-test and bright measurement with one flashlight, first using normal Eneloops and then XX Eneloops. To compare if there is an increase in brightness (may be they have less internal resistance).
Very nice test, and very nice batteries. I just hope not to be drunk next to the computer or I will do the same
