Discharging

Could not find the answer but it seems I read somewhere that you can discharge a Lithium ion on the c-9000. Is this correct? Or did I dream it?

Keith

I think you dreamed it. :P

i dont know the answer either. interesting question.

fact is, the C9000 stops discharging at exactly 0.9000V voltage under load (the load is the discharge process, logically!).

i dont want to discharge my liions down to 0.9V!

I think Keith is remembering someone trying non-rechargeable 1.5V (actually closer to 1.7V) lithium AAs in a C9000. Those wouldn’t be a problem, merely an expensive experiment….

That”s it. Thank”s Ralf, good memory haha I was not dreaming…………… just mixed up.

Keith

With that said could not one watch the numbers and pull batt say…………at 3.5 or whatever? I am thinking so? Maybe? maybe not? I don”t know why not? What was I saying? OH, I have a cheap (extra) 14500 I think I will try (outside). Yea, that”s the ticket. What say youall???

Keith

I wouldn't do that. Seems like it might burn out the circuity. While you're at it why don't you try charging your 14500 in it. :P

I even fried a NiMH charger discharging eneloops.. :)

Thanks scaru. I did not try it. I would like to see what it would do. So you think it would fry the C-9000? Probably. I wonder how high the voltage numbers would go on the C-9000. The highest I have seen was about 1.95 with an old Nimh battery. Wonder if it would reach 2.00?,3.00,4? I have never seen the definitive answer on this. Hmmmm
