    AccuEvolution D Cells quality gone!

    Awaiting for my AccuEvolution by Accupower D Cells 10,000 mAh to arrive tomorrow to start testing. I ran across some AccuLoop by Accupower D Cells today while searching again for a spec sheet for my old CTA 12,000 mAh cells (no luck). The AccuLoops are rated at 8,500 and are LSD with the part...

    Request CTA D-Cell Spec Sheet. Also some long term testing data here.

    Heads up on West Montain Radio CBA software version 2.2.7

    I recently pulled my CBA II out of storage and started using it on an old XP machine with the new 2.2.7. I'm glad I'm not the only one that found the loss of data after the test annoying. Mine shows a resting voltage of 0.03 even if no battery is attached. It still shows that even if nothing...

    NIHM chargers

    I can recommend the C808M too. I've been using it since its release and I haven't found a better C/D charger. I also have the Accumanager 20 with its lower charge rate, and 4 fewer bays, for comparison. I use a LaCrosse charger/analyzer for AA/AAA batteries.

    Request CTA D-Cell Spec Sheet. Also some long term testing data here.

    Does anyone have a link for the CTA D-Cell 12,000 mAh conventional NiMH battery? I purchased 8 of them in 2006 for a project I was working on at the time. Since they are no longer available, and CTA doesn't seem to market rechargeable batteries anymore, I am having trouble locating it. I...

    How To Make Ni-Cd AA's Ready For Duty?

    If things don't work out, or you replace them again, check out the Made in Japan Sanyo Cadnica 700 mAh AA batteries. The N-700AAC is the regular battery and there is a 1 mm shorter verison N-700AACL. Some solar lights are made for the shorter battery with shallow button on top whereas others...

    Anybody still like using Nicads?

    I just purchased some NiCads for some 4 year old solar lights we have up north. They originally shipped with some Chinese 700 mAh Highstar NiCads that performed well for several years. Most now only hold about 100-200 mAh after refreshing on my LaCrosse BC-900, although one I was able to get...

    rechargeable D cells?

    I use both the AccuManager 20 and the MAHA C808 to charge my CTA 12,000 D-cells and both do a good job. The AccuManager does up to four at a time and the MAHA up to eight as mentioned before. The AccuManager is about half the cost too. http://www.thomas-distributing.com/ap-accupower20.htm
