The BLF Battery Data Base

I got some Turnigy 2200 mAh LSD AA batteries from Hobby King this week. I discharged them right out of the package at 500mA. Then I did a Refresh/Analyze cycle at 1000 charge and 1000 discharge on my Maha C9000. Very good results:

Cell Initial Discharge 1000mA Discharge from Full
1 1667 2411
2 1654 2318
3 1644 2299
4 1645 2385
5 1631 2344
6 1642 2343
7 1683 2368
8 1650 2333
Avg. 1652 2350

Very consistent results. Eneloops and Duraloops usually come in just under 2000. What is impressive about this is that if these batteries can maintain 75% of their charge after a year (1763 mAh), they would have more capacity than Eneloops which retain 85% of their charge (1700 mAh). I plan on discharging 2 cells each at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year. Continued here.
