    Battery Specs: What Do They Mean

    I'll check out Amazon. At $180, I can't argue with your assessment of Dell. It's an XPS15, (L501X). Not a big fan of Ebay, but I'll have to give it a look since this battery has proven to be more elusive and expensive than I anticipated.

    Battery Specs: What Do They Mean

    SilverFox, appreciate the reply. Thank you. I was on the phone with Dell today, griping that 15 months is a rather short life. They insisted that one year is the life expectancy and, of course, the warranty covers just that. I'm a bit peeved because the cost at Dell is $180! I've been...

    Battery Specs: What Do They Mean

    I need the help of someone with smarts about batteries. Now, this has nothing to do with flashlight batteries, so please forgive me, but I'm not sure where else to go for info. My Dell laptop battery died two days ago. The existing OEM is a rechargeable Li-ion battery with the following specs...

    What's New in Battery Chargers?

    Rob, you are absolutely correct. I emailed MAHA and, sure enough, a quick email reply back and a new replacement unit is on its way, free of charge. Stand up company, to say the least. :twothumbs

    What's New in Battery Chargers?

    Update: just plugged the unit into an outlet again. Now, three of the four slots is working. Number 2 isn't. My assumption is the charger is fine but the unit itself is heading for early retirement.

    What's New in Battery Chargers?

    I'll have to rummage about the house, but I suspect the only power supply I have is the one that came with the unit. Contacting MAHA is a good idea. I'm going to shoot them an email. But after checking some records, it appears my unit was purchased about 3 years and 4 months ago. Planned...

    What's New in Battery Chargers?

    I purchased it through Thomas Distributing when the model was first released, if I remember correctly. I sent an email to Thomas to ask about this. If it's still under warranty, perhaps I can just get a replacement. If not, I'll do some research into what else might be available.

    What's New in Battery Chargers?

    It's been a long time since I've been in the market, but I am in need of a battery charger. My last foray into this market was several year ago when the MAHA MH-C9000 was first introduced. Well, today it died on me and does nothing when plugged into any wall outlet. The digital screen will...

    Best Low Discharge NiMH's?

    Well, it seems like there are a lot of Sanyo employees on the board ;) Seriously, thanks for the replies. My only experience with these low discharge batteries are with the Eneloops, and I have been quite pleased. I was just wondering if some new and better technology had come down the pike in...

    Best Low Discharge NiMH's?

    Gentlemen, I find myself in need of some new rechargeable batteries. It's been quite a while since I have purchased any, and I'm wondering what the latest and greatest AA's and AAA's are? Is there a concensus these days on quality low discharge NiMH's? Thank you.

    Maha C9000 failure statistics, all users please post

    I'm not an engineer or battery connoisseur like many here. So my usage with the C9000 has been that of the average Joe Consumer. Having said that, it has performed flawlessly to date.

    Sanyo Eneloop capacity tests.

    Could someone help the truly unenlightened among us? I recently purchased a dozen Eneloops and the MH-C9000 charger. How do I go about testing the batteries capacities on this model charger?

    Energizer 2500 maH

    Just yesterday I disposed of 8 Energizer 2500's. Their performance deteriorated so badly I couldn't use them any longer. They would be completely discharged three days after being fully charged. So whenever I would need them in my digital camera, they were useless. That, and two days run...

    Correct Charging Rate. . .Help a N00b, please.

    Thank you, gents. .5C it is, then.

    Correct Charging Rate. . .Help a N00b, please.

    I need to charge a couple of Eneloop AA's. Using the MH-C9000 charger, what is the best, (if there is one best), charging rate that I should set for this battery? Or, am I fine leaving the charger to do its work with the default setting? And what is the default setting, by the way? As always...
