    Standard charge of NiMH, IEC 61951-2.

    I don't like to leave NiMH batteries charging when no-one is home. My Opus BT-C2000 and MH-C9000 chargers apply 115% - 125% of the battery's rated capacity when they are depleted down to about 1.0 volts. The attached image has been modified to make it somewhat easier to understand the IEC...

    eneloop with charger / adapter (Costco) package

    The SureFire 6PX Pro uses two 123A, 3 volt batteries and this thread is about the eneloop 1.2 volt NiMH charger and battery package. If you want AA and/or AAA batteries for other devices, by all means, buy the Costco kit.

    New Eneloop charger BQ-CC75

    Saw this in Costco today for the first time was posted on October 22, three days ago. Catalogue 2017-2018 - eneloop (pdf) does not mention BQ-CC75 charger. In the catalogue, pages 36 and 39 have BQ-CC65 specs. For comparison, the BQ-CC55 and BQ-CC65 have identical battery charging times...

    westinghouse 2000mah aa deal online

    Re: westinghouse 2000mah aa any good? I never said that you claimed that the batteries were LSD or pre-charged. Anytime someone makes a claim, I always try to verify the claim. The batteries will probably be fine in applications where they are regularly getting a daily charge, such as with...

    westinghouse 2000mah aa deal online

    Re: westinghouse 2000mah aa any good? I swear that I found information that said that these batteries are pre-charged but now I can't find anything that says that they are pre-charged or LSD batteries. A picture of the back of the battery card says: #3 Charge batteries before using. :hairpull...

    westinghouse 2000mah aa deal online

    Re: westinghouse 2000mah aa any good? I ordered the 40 battery kit yesterday and the order was shipped today from Arlington, Texas. Expected delivery is on or before Friday, September 15th. WARNING: The free shipping now says $5.00 Expedited Shipping and this raises the price per cell from 50...

    westinghouse 2000mah aa deal online

    Re: westinghouse 2000mah aa any good? Neither do I, but I ordered a 3-pack of COB night lights and each light requires 4 AAA batteries. The problem is that now I will need to shoehorn 4 Westinghouse AA batteries into 4 AAA slots for each night light. :banghead:

    westinghouse 2000mah aa deal online

    Re: westinghouse 2000mah aa any good? The way I look at it is it's still a good deal even if only 75% of the batteries have a capacity of at least 1600 mAh after running each cell through several refresh/analyze cycles. I plan to write an article about how good/bad these batteries are for the...

    westinghouse 2000mah aa deal online

    Re: westinghouse 2000mah aa any good? Buying 40 pre-charged, NiMH batteries for $19.99 with free shipping sounds like a really good deal, but.... They are older N.O.S. (New Old Stock) batteries that are made in China. The seller states that they can be recharged only up to 1000 times. You will...

    Test/Review of Charger Panasonic BQ-CC17

    From the graphs in the review, there is no top-off charge with the BQ-CC17. The graph and comment below are from HKJ's BQ-CC55 review: The charger uses a -dv/dt termination and has a 1 hour top-off charge at around 140mA.

    Eneloops: what charger do I need? (info and discussion thead)

    @carnage, It sounds like you need a charger/analyzer to show the charging and/or discharging rates (and other information) for your NiMH batteries while they are in the charger. I've been using the Opus BT-C2000 charger/analyzer for several months; it is excellent and you can buy it for less...

    Eneloops: what charger do I need? (info and discussion thead)

    If we knew how long it took for each charger to finish charging 4 brand new AA eneloop batteries, we would have pretty conclusive proof as to which charger was under performing. I posted: Panasonic states the following approximate charging times for both chargers when 4 batteries are fully...

    Eneloops: what charger do I need? (info and discussion thead)

    From my experience, no this is not at all normal. All of my 1900 mAh LSD AA battery 4-pack kits when new were only about 67% full, give or take 1% or 2% and they all had initial no load voltages ~ 1.32 volts. When charging four AA batteries, the BQ-CC55 uses a 750 mA charge rate. The BQ-CC17...

    Eneloops: what charger do I need? (info and discussion thead)

    You'r welcome. My BQ-CC17 was used quite a few times while I was gathering test results for my budget charger review. Before charging any batteries, a set of four LSD batteries were fully discharged down to 0.90 volts. My procedure with each charger was to insert all batteries into the charger...
