Test/review of Panasonic Sub-C 3000mAh HHR300SCP (Brown paper)

Panasonic Sub-C 3000mAh HHR300SCP (Brown paper)







Official specifications:

  • Capacity average: 3050mAh

  • Capacity rated: 2800mAh

  • Internal impedance: 4mOhm @ 1000Hz

  • Standard charge: 300mA x 16hrs

  • Rapid charge: 3000mA x 1.2hrs

  • Size: ø23.0+0/-0.1mm 43.0+0/-1.5mm

  • Weight: 57g

  • Ambient temperature charging: Standard: 0°C ~ 45°C, Rapid: 0°C ~ 40°C

  • Storage temperature: 6 months: –20°C ~ 45°C, 2 years:–20°C ~ 35°C



Maximum temperature raise at different discharge currents: 1A:+0,1°C, 2A:+0,8°C, 3A:+1,5°C, 5A:+4,1°C, 7A:+6,3°C, 10A:+9,1°C, 15A:+13,1°C, 20A:+16,2°C
This is a rather unknown battery size for many people. It is used for a lot of stuff, mostly battery packs, but may also be used inside regular C or D cell of the low capacity types.








The discharge curves tracks nicely for NiMH and the capacity is good.















Conclusion

It is a good cell for battery packs, but I would prefer not to have it in my C or D cells.
