Vapex 12 x AA 2900mAh NiMH rechargeable batteries with case
Pack of 12, AA 2900mAh rechargeable batteries.
There are so many batteries available today, each seller claiming that theirs are in some way better than the rest, so how can you choose?
Our suppliers are carefully selected after extensive product testing, our actual product test results are given in our adverts, very few others do this, as they simply do not have the technical capability to do so, presumably therefore they chose their suppliers based on cost rather than quality!
Many products from other suppliers which I have evaluated gave capacity figures of anything up to 20% below that quoted, it seems common practice for some manufacturers to do significant amounts of rounding up when labelling their products. Others will refer to a "max" capacity which is higher than that on the battery - this is rubbish! I have yet to find a battery which would give significantly higher than the quoted figure.
We conduct regular testing of the batteries we receive, and have yet to find anything more than just a few percent difference from that quoted. This is why we stick with this manufacturer.
These batteries are particularly suited to high drain applications such as digital cameras, MP3 players, cordless phones etc. Where they will usually seriously outlast even the best alkaline batteries, and then there are the cost savings:-
· 1 charger + 4 batteries + electricity for 500 charges = £25 max
· 500 packs of alkaline batteries @ £3 = £1,500
Anyway, please check the following specifications against others, and feel free to ask any questions you may have & we will do our best to answer for you.
Nominal capacity: measured at 580mA (0.2C) = 2,900mAh
This is a genuine figure, which is verified with our own testing. This means that they really will last & last in today's demanding applications.
Maximum discharge current = 8,700mA
That's almost 9 Amps! Do other suppliers even list this? Wonder why not? This is an important figure, as many gadgets require surprisingly high currents to work properly.
Fast charge current = 2500mA
You can take this as a measure of the ruggedness of the cell, check what others quote, many are half this, others won't even quote it.
Low internal resistance of less than 25mOhms when fully charged.
Very few quote this figure, this is important, as the lower the internal resistance is, the more power is supplied by the battery rather than being wasted inside it.
They can be recharged up to 1,000 times with none of the memory effects which were associated with NiCd batteries.
