RayOVac 4.0 vs Eneloops [data results]

[InHisName]

I have finished break-in testing with the 4 Ray-O-Vac4.0 AAA and the first 4 Duraloop AAs. I also measured the internal resistance as setup by the PLD IRM-004. It measures internal resistance with a 1KHz 1 [FONT=DejaVu Sans, sans-serif]Ω[/FONT] load, steady 1 [FONT=DejaVu Sans, sans-serif]Ω load, and 0.5 [/FONT][FONT=DejaVu Sans, sans-serif]Ω load.

I just received two Tenergy D 9000 MAH cells from fellow CPF'er, he wrote the capactiy on the batt. I havn't had time to test those my self yet. I added the internal resistance tests here.

[FONT=DejaVu Sans, sans-serif]All the new Ray-O-Vacs seem pretty similar to the Duraloops. Not to mention that ROVs are AAA and the Duraloops are AA. So far most cells of AA, AAA, and D size are pretty similar in the internal resistance at 2 amps (0.5[/FONT][FONT=DejaVu Sans, sans-serif] Ω load). The designer/builder of the IRM-004 says the number don't really mean much until changes are compared over time and other comparative differences. I have noticed that when the 0.5 ohm load values climb up over 900milli-ohms then my C9000 starts giving me the HIGH signal. So ...... under 500 is good, over 900 not very good any more.
