After buying "red" Tronic LSD 2100mAh batteries last year, and being suprised about their performance I saw high capacity cells where sold at Lidl (in Belgium at least).
With a price of €5 for 4 batteries, I could not resist.
They came out empty out of the box.
I did a break-in on cell 3 and 4 and charged the other 2 at 0.5C.

1:2183
2:2241
3:2228
4:2300

A bit disappointing but not that bad either.
The second charge at 0.5C for all cells gave me:

1:2187
2:2195
3:2205
4:2238

I will do another break-in on all cells again. All cells are within the same range. The probably would better be labeled at 2300mAh. But considering their cost, I am quite happy.

My experience with them is they lose some mAh EVERY recharge (at least the ones i got a few years ago). They also developed high internal resistance too :(

I already have enough batteries, so I could test them thoroughly.
Around 15 cycles will show something. But I find it very odd that their LSD-cells are that good and their high capacity cells are just not up to it.
