Nexcell EnergyOn capacity

[Romeo]

I bought a lot of 20 Nexcell EnergyOn low discharge AA batteries recently off an oft-used auction site. The price was very attractive (about $1.80 US each). I put four of them on my Lacrosse BC-700 charger and set it on the Test Mode. The results (battery capacity) after about 40 hours of charging, discharging and recharging for the four cells was: 1837, 1873, 1867 and 1946 mAh. The batteries are rated by the manufacturer at 2100. I think the capacity may increase with repeated use. Has anyone else had experience with EnergyOn batteries?

I bought some last July 09. AAA's 8 and then 8 more in Aug 09

Here are my comments and questions back then

Someone else's

Since then I have been tracking the impedance of both the NexCells and the DuraLoops that I got in the fall. Both seem to be increasing fast enough that I may posess "HIGH" batteries in under 15 months!

I am using 12 NexCells and 12 DuraLoops in very low discharge radios(FSM) For AAA it take either 4 or 3 x10hours to run them down. I have recharged them aound 30x so far and seem to be reaching half way to being "HIGH" and refusing to charge in my MAHA C9000

One radio set discharges about 15Ma and other is about 20Ma. Charge is 500Ma on the C9000. High momentary reading was 1.57 when new and now is 2.09. DuraLoops are a little younger but are at 1.7 something or 1.8something.

I figure the EnergyOns cost me about 72% as much as Enelopps and are so far giving me about 92% of eneloop capacity. I'm satisfied.
