AA nimh batteries for mag85

[ergotelis]

Hello, i tried to search forums about which batteries to choose, but i got a bit confused because i saw old results. I would like to buy AA nimh batteries, but which ones?
I searched ebay, and found:
oege energy(german brand) 3600mah
sanyo 2700mah
unknown brand 3800mah
energizer 2650mah

Does anyone have any experience with those batteries?
Now,running on 9 aa nimh 2000mah batteries, i wasn't satisfied by its performance, i have an ultrafire wf500(500 lumen) and i didn't see that much of difference).
I am suspecting also that the reflector is not that good, which is also your suggestion for the best reflector, i do prefer a tight beam!
Thanks everyone!

I running nine [SIZE=-1]Intellect [/SIZE]IB2000 High Drain AA NIMH batteries in series (10.8V) in my Mag85 and Mag625 (still need a 12AAto3D). I have tried other NIMH batteries in series but they were not able to satisfy the current requirements. The IB2000's are available on Amazon.

those 3600 and 3800mah cells are total lies, ripoffs, they are inconsistent, and test out so far below those ratings that it's just silly. stick to well known name brand stuff.. or stuff that folks around here have used and recommend. High current cells are good, and will generally be rated 1600-2000mah, The eneloops.. while not marketed as high drain cells, do remarkably well in these configurations and have nice slow self-drain... Titanium cells from Amondotech has an 1800mah high drain cell that is very promising as well.

ok thanks for suggestions!But eneloop seem like to be sanyo, so sanyo 2700mah that i can easily find, are not good?Else i shall make a delivery from amazoon, i am not from Amerika, i am from Greece...:nana:

The higher capacity batteries Like the Sanyo 2700mah have a longer run time, but you don't get a longer white beam as compared to the Eneloop and similar high drain cells.

The choice is yours.

More yellowish beam, longer runtime = Sanyo 2700mah or something similar

Whiter beam, shorter runtime = Eneloops or something similar

I am running some Titanium 1800 mAh power max cells in mine. They are working out very well.
