I had bought the 10180's months ago, hardly used them since, and always wanted to graph the discharge curves wiv mc3k. Back then PCLS wasn't reliable because of USB co-usage by my hp printer. Since DEX finally meets my personal requirements for serious logging, i went through with the tests of unused 10180 DQG batteries, successfully in one go.
2 battery samples, A and B, both delivered together in 1 gb package months ago (see post
#507).
program CYCLE C>D, N=1.
charge rate 0.05A (50mA), termination current 0.01A,
|discharge rate| 0.05A, 0.10A, 0.20A, 0.30A; cut-off 2.70V.
same mc3k slot used for all tests.
logger: DEX 3.2.5,
cross-checking and post-processing: Excel (

result: see pic
The tests were done in random order, i retested sample A several times before and after testing sample B. It's a fact that sample A has higher capacity than sample B, ~80mAh vs ~70mAh, which i find intriguing. That's that, i have no further use of the 10180 cells other than testing for the mc3k forum review. This post, as many other squirrel posts in this thread, would become part of the review.
