Tensai C TR-C4500 4500mAh (Green)


Official specifications:

  • Model: TR-C4500
  • Manufacturer: TENSAI
  • Size: C , LR14
  • Chemistry: NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride)
  • Nominal Voltage: 1.2V
  • Capacity: Minimum: 4500mA, Typical: 4600mA, When discharged at 0.2C to 1.0V at 20°C
  • Fast Charge: up to 2250mA
  • Service Life: >500 cycles
  • Internal Resistance: <20mOhm (upon fully charged)
  • Diameter (mm): 26
  • Height (mm): 50
  • Weight: 80g




Maximum temperature raise at different discharge currents: 1A:+0,4°C, 2A:+2,3°C, 3A:+3,6°C, 5A:+8,4°C, 7A:+13,7°C, 10A:+19,7°C,

This is a real C size cell NiMH cell with full capacity.










The battery does fine up to about 5A, at 10A the cell has problems.











All the mess between 11A and 12A is my setup that hits its voltage/current limit.





Conclusion

An acceptable NiMH battery.
