Self-Discharge: approx. 70% capacity after 5 years
Maximum temperature raise at different discharge currents: 1A:+1,2°C, 2A:+3,3°C, 3A:+5,8°C, 5A:+11,3°C, 7A:+16,6°C, 10A:+22,1°C,
These batteries can handle large discharge currents..
Conclusion
These batteries have over the years proves to be very good batteries for just about any application I have used them in.
I really like the low self discharge and the ability to deliver high currents.
it's interesting that the GRAY is some sort of "dust/dirt". one can take a q-tip (with droplet of water or alcohol) and rub softly against the grey area. it will turn into the whitest WHITE you've ever seen in life!!
i "cleaned" all of my Eneloops dis way. All whitey's now! Looks much better :p
No, I did have plans to do some NiMH test, but had not done anything to get start, then Don ask me if I can do some high current tests on Contour NiMH batteries. To make that interesting I needed some other batteries to compare to, so I got busy with making scripts and getting some new Eneloops while Don shipped some Contour batteries to me.
Next up is the Contour and after them the Eneloop 2500mAh. I have not planned any other NiMH batteries, but there will probably be other.
Because I run the test down to 0.1A, it takes about 8 days to check two batteries, this makes it slow to test NiMH, but will be great for comparison to Alkaline, when I get around to check some of them.
Also, remember to check my link at the bottom of the review, I have added some information for NiMH.
Have you reviewed these ones yet? I bought 12 of em to use around the house and for the external flash for my underwater digital camera. Higher mHa and less recharge cycles.
