Lidl special AA LSD. Discharged on an Angeleyes charger - I don't own a C9000.
Nominally 2100mAh. First full cycle. Noticed that they got alarmingly hot at a 528mA discharge which is not a good sign. Also I doubt their LSDness - they certainly aren't up to the standards of the GP Recycos I have or the Eneloops. Still too hot to comfortably touch after around 1750mAh discharge.

Just as well they were cheap because they don't look very good. I'll rest them and recharge them then test one at a time for a few weeks to see how they hold their charge. From the heat from them on a 500mA discharge (Eneloops will do 8 amps) I doubt they'd be good in a high-drain application.
i own " BTY Ni-MH 1000, Rechargeable AAA 1.2V " and it says " Charge Methods: Standard Charge: 15hrs at 100mA, Quick Charge: 4.5hrs at 300mA ".
They're in my house phone and all i can say is: my brand name (VARTA) AAA 1.2V rechargeables last 4 times as long as the BTY. And they also get quite warm (in the house phone or in flashlights). Not recommended.
i bought them thru ebay.
BTY cells are junk which is best avoided.
Lidl Tronic cells are little better.

Am I the winner in drag racing an 18650 from 4,20V -> 2,70V in least possible mAh´s? :D
edit:
interior ripped open. Notice the plastic "filler tube"
Just for reference:
A pair of Trustfire Flame 14500 (protected) from manafont
Discharged these at wrong amperage, used 1A instead of 0,5A that was suggested.

Seems like I got a bad pair...
I got some batteries from DD , just to see what there selling .. Dek 800 and Sunos 900 ...
Initial discharge = From packet [ 500mAh discharge ]
Dek 1- 351mAh / 2- 386mAh
Sunos 1- 375mAh / 2- 315mAh
After being fully charged , discharged @ 500mAh
Dek 1- 643mAh / 2- 626mAh
Sunos 1- 712mAh / 2- 731mAh
Heard some good things about Turnigy AA LSD batteries , so thought I might buy some ..
Also new DEK2750 [ though it does not come close to claimed capacity ]
Discharging @ 1A returned :
DEK - 1897mAh - 1916mAh [ 2750 claimed capacity ]
Turnigy - 2196mAh - 2163mAh [ Claimed capacity 2200mAh ]
Discharge test with 4 different flashlights ...
Turnigy - 1.75A - 2A - 1.99A - 2.1A
DEK - 1.7A - 1.89A - 1.9A - 2A
Rayovac - 1.75A - 2A - 1.9A - 2A
AccuEvolution - 1.85A - 1.9A - 2A - 2.22A
The DEK from DinoDirect were some what disappointing [ capacity claim ] , on the other hand the Turnigy LSD AA's performed very well , and I would be seriously tempted to buy some more , if your interested in the Turnigy , head on over to HobbyKing ...

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.
Cell: Sanyo UR18650A
Discharger: iCharger 106B+
Claimed capacity: min. 2300 mAh, typ. 2400 mAh
Tested capacity (tested only 2 cells): 2251 / 2234 mAh @ 1A discharge, 3V cut-off
Notes: taken out of brand new 3-cell laptop battery pack (with dead PCB), charged using Xtar WP2 II at 500 mA.
I love batteries so I will be keeping track of the results.
Thanks brted!

On receipt, the first cell of the pair measured 3.32 volts; initial discharge got a whopping ONE mAh. The second cell measured 3.35 volts and also registered 1 mAh, but was not tested because it became warm even at an 0.2 amp charge rate (at 1 A after the initial discharge, voltage shot up to 4.2 after only 60 mAh and then dropped back under 4 volts!).
Opened a pack of white-top Duracell AAA's I bought last year.
Initial discharge on C9000 @ 500mA: 582, 604, 589, 597
After charging and doing a discharge the next day @ 500mA: 794, 812, 801, 808
I love these cells. Less than 2% difference in capacity, all coming in very close to the 800mA nominal capacity.
