My luck the batteries arrived today at my place, However I went out to lunch as I didn’t realize you had to actually sign for an Express package, don’t have to do that for Airmail just registered packages……bummer, even the online tracking doesn’t say Signature required; it does say “No Authorized Recipient Available” that’s a first for me.
I called the Post Office and was told because it’s an Express package they could redeliver on Monday for me, but couldn’t give me a time-frame, or I could pick it up myself starting @ 8:30am; so rather than have to sit around all day and wait on it I’ll pick it up first thing Monday morning. Oh well at-least it is actually here, 2 days door to door from Japan for a reasonable price………I’m still happy
Hi I bought a five pack of eneloop AAAs(8,66€), because I had no AAAs rechargeables.
After charging I have done a discharge test with B6 and at 1A until 0.9V I get around 600mAh
I haven’t tested all and not multiple times but I am confused a bit…
Is this a average result? I am confused because I counted with 700mAh…
Capacities are based on a 0.2C discharge, after a 16 hour charge at a rate of 0.1C. Under these conditions, all the AAA Eneloops I have tested (16 in total) exceed 800mAh.
I need 4 batteries for my marine VHF. I was looking at eneloop XX (newest gen), but then I found a review which stated that the XX have a slightly less voltage than the regular ones. My original battery is 6.0 volts, in any case I can’t achieve that with NiMh batteries.
Now I’m wondering, should I go for the slightly higher voltage regular eneloops, or should I choose the XX with their less voltage but 25% more capacity and almost twice the price? What do you think?
Seems that my i4 isn’t able to charge them properly, strange as my experience with AAs said that all cells were charged nice with it…
I have done a 5cycle test with my B6 with 0.6A charge 5min rest 1A discharge and I got continuously 720mAh out of this torture…so the cells seem to be in good condition.
