Hi, I am playing with some 6 series (6S1P) , Sub C, NiMH packs ( 5000 MAH , Elite cells) from cheapbatterypacks.com. They are already $ 50 / each, so I did not pay the extra to buy balanced packs (yes, I know I should have). They are equipped with the "premium construction", so soldered, stick style, and 14 guage wire.
It seems that the really high performance crowds, like r/c airplane, have all moved to LiPos and A123 type cells, and the flashlight related data I have seen is mostly for AA, 123, and 185650 size cells.
While I am personally pretty comfortable with the general requirements of Li based cells, I decided for one of my projects to stay with Ni based cells to keep the package a bit more "family friendly" / reduced risk.
I was wondering if I could somehow entice someone into generating some discharge curves from a pack like this ? I am thinking of discharges of approx. 1/2 C, 1 C, 5 C, and if it is feasible, 10 C. This is just for my curiousity, so the selected points are just ideas.
I am having 2 packs made (for use) so if someone agrees to the test, I will get a 3rd pack made up. If you like, you could keep the "test pack", or we can work out something else.
Thanks
