Well I picked up a 4 pack of these at Harbor Freight awhile back .The positive reviews on there site for these batteries are the main reason I purchased these .I basically did the same test as I did with the Rayovac batteries by using my GT Power X-Charger C6 to discharge the batteries at 1 amp down to 1 volt each and then recharged them at .5 amp and then a second discharge . The capacity that the charger reported was for these brand new batteries was 2325mah . Since they seem to be underrated a bit (rated at 2200 Mah) I am quite happy with my purchase at this time . After these get some more age on them I will test again them to see how there doing .

Charge these NiMH batteries up to 1000 times for long performance life in your MP3 player, CD players, digital camera or any other high-output portable electronic device! NiMH (nickel metal hybrid) has replaced NiCd (nickel-cadmium) as the battery of choice due to its higher capacity. Another nice advantage is that you don’t need to drain these rechargeable batteries first to get a full charge (no memory effect).
NiMH batteries feature no memory effect, higher capacity than nickel cadmium (NiCd) batteries.
Charge up to 1000 times (charge time approx. 1.66 hours)
Longer lasting for digital electronics

Hi,
ReplyDeleteWondering if you've been able to retest these batteries or check to see if their LSD capabilites.
Thanks,
Jason
Well to honest the set of batteries I first tested have for lack of a better explanation have walked off. before they disappeared they seemed to do a good job on maintaining their voltage during storage but I didn't really do any dedicated testing. In the future I will purchase some new ones and do some self discharge testing.
