I have some generic AA NIHM cells. They are actually CVS Drugstore brand. They sometimes have them on sale for half price, and we get coupons from CVS all the time and they end up being really cheap! I have actually had very good performance from them up to now, but have I think I bought a bad batch. After charging some of them in a Targus charger and putting them in a new light, the light would go dim after about 30 seconds of turning it on. I put the cells in the CH9000 and they charged, but only showed a capacity of about 600 mAh!! I removed them and put in a few more, and they took about 3-4 hours to charge, and were showing a capacity of just under 3500 mAh!! They are rated at 2450 mAh. I am charging them at 700 ma. What would cause this in the CH 9000 where it would show a cell with a 3500 mAh capacity? Also, if I cycle the bad ones with this charger, can I repair them?
