Re: Initial charge on Eneloops (AAA)
OK, a Test cycle will give me actual capacity. Will I get actual capacity when running the Refresh mode as well? To do so the BC-900 would have to present the energy dissipated during the last discharge part of the mode, I presume.Be careful to note what Marduke said: those increasing numbers are not "Measured Capacities", they are the amount of charge pushed into the cell. In this case, higher numbers are bad, not good. The more those numbers increase, the more they are telling you your cells are being damaged.
A refresh may help, and is worth trying.
However, remember to increase the charge current from 200 mA to 500 mA for future charges, and use the Test mode to get actual capacities. Also keep an eye on the charge progress when you can, and manually stop charging if the charge gets above 110% of the measured cell capacity.
