I always see the battery specs that include stuff like how many charges you can get from the batteries, how long their charge will last while unused or not used much(self discharge). Thats on top of the usual specs like capacity, voltage, etc.
But what I dont see anyone advertising is how long these batteries will last if you use them an average or below average amount. Lets say you arent a professional photographer, or you dont play your portable video games all day long, and as a result you only need to recharge your batteries anywhere between 1-2 times per month, to 4 times per week while on vacation. I dont see any info about total battery life now that I think about it.
So lets say you dont charge your batteries once or twice a day, and you only charge them a total of maybe 10-15-20-25 times per year, but you also dont store them in your oven, and you dont use them for batting practice either. How long will the following batteries be likely to last, if well taken care of?
1. Modern Low self discharge NiMh batteries(name brand):
2. Modern Standard NiMh batteries(name brand):
3. Modern Li-Ion batteries(name brand, Panasonic based, low capacity):
4. Modern Li-Ion batteries(name brand, Panasonic based, high capacity):
5. Modern LiFePo4 batteries(name brand):
Some good, accurate, or even ball-park measurements would be appreciated.......:naughty:
