    ISDT N8 Questions

    Thank you, treek13. I am returning the ISDT N8. I just find the failure to report the Capacity in Analysis Mode is unacceptable. Why bother having an analysis mode if the result is not reported? I also find the complete absence of any information about "Activation Mode" or "Capacity Plus"...

    ISDT N8 Questions

    Folks, I just bought an ISDT N8. Might anyone be familiar with this model, and be able to answer some questions? I am disappointed with the "manual" that came with this charger. It is inadequate and incomplete. The manual refers to features (such as "Capacity Plus") that do not appear on...

    Time vs. Cycles for rechargeable life?

    OK, thank you for comments. I guess the variation in dark blue vs. light blue can just be the vagaries of manufacturing. Maybe, even though they were in the same package, they weren't even made at the same time. I mean, I really don't care so much about the amount of difference, just was...

    Time vs. Cycles for rechargeable life?

    I just finished break-in (on C9000) for next four of the 1500 cycle Eneloops I bought. Recall that the capacities of the first four were: 1997, 1986, 1972, and 1969 mah. The times were 329, 325, 323, and 321 minutes, respectively. Strangely, the next four are 2019/329, 2016/331, 2003/326, and...

    Time vs. Cycles for rechargeable life?

    A good thing to notice. However, the manual says NiMH batteries are acceptable. In fact, there is a menu setting to select either Alkaline or NiMH batts. Also, a fair number of guys over at taperssection are using the DC-in jack, with DVD batteries. Well, maybe one spare, for starters. I...

    Time vs. Cycles for rechargeable life?

    Thank you, all, so much for your helpful comments and suggestions. I'll go with the XX, and do some experimental runs. I'm optinistic because my requirement of 600 - 700 ma is worst case. I won't always have all 6 mics in use, and so the phantom power requirements won't be as severe in those...

    Time vs. Cycles for rechargeable life?

    Very informative, wrend, thank you. It appears that those XX 2500's actually perform at 2500MAH! (for the IEC .2C discharge-- so I have a reasonable expectation of actually seeing that when I run them through a C9000 break-in cycle.) Looks like that's the way to go. BTW, As part of my recent...

    Time vs. Cycles for rechargeable life?

    Thank you, wrend and apagogeas. Actually, I think 3.5 hours would be enough. I will be recording various wind ensembles, and concerts rarely go much longer than 3 hours, including intermission. (I don't anticipate tackling Wagner's Ring Cycle anytime soon :D ). I am talking about 8 AA cells...

    Mystery Batteries?

    Thank you, commenters, for the suggestions. I will try the multiple break-in cycles, as suggested, to soert of "sneak up" on the capacity. Regarding the Lightning 4000N and the 2500mah capacity... I think that charger was not the original one purchased coincidentally with the batteries. Not...

    Mystery Batteries?

    Might anyone have any ideas on the identity (manufacturer and capacity) of some mystery batteries I have. These are AA batteries, with no label on them. They are all solid green, and were purchased from some now defunct website named, "ripvan100.com", as I recall. They were bought in 2001, and...

    Time vs. Cycles for rechargeable life?

    I want to buy some AA rechargeable batteries to use for a portable multitrack digital recorder. I need several hours of continuous discharge at 600 -700 milliamps. Hence, I'm interested in high capacity batteries. I don't particulary care about long shelf life, as my intended use is to charge...
