CRAP china AA battery on ebay!

[Doctorbass]

I just want to share my bad experience to everyone to avoid you to do the same error i did!

Last month i decided to finally buy a package with 12 AA NIMH 2700mAh cells + 4 cells charger on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/4AMP-1Hr-AA-AAA...229566085QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item250229566085

I decided to trust chinesse battery for one time at least.....
When i received the package, i immediatly toke the cells and put those on my battery tester.

they claim 2700mAh...

I measured 1800mAh on 4 of the 12 cells i tested... (the first cells i tested had 1800mAh)

and i decided to retest them again just to double check: 1700mAh !!!! :x

AND i charged at 500mAh during many hour and i discharged them at 0.2C (500mAh)

THAT' S PURE CRAPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NEVER BUY POWATECH OR ANYTHING from the seller: wosmile !!

THAT'S LESS MAH THAN THE LOWER CAPACITY AVAILLABLE FROM THE MARKET.. LIKE 2000MAH CELLS!

MY OPINION.. I'LL NEVER BUY CHINEESE CELLS AGAIN !!!

I just bought a Ni-MH Duracell Power Gauge Charger.It charges up to 4 AAA or 4AA with progress led's.It holds the AA batteries fine but the receptical for the AAA doesn't hold the cells very well.After sticking them in they want to pop out on their own causing the error led to come on.I had to reinsert them twice on the first charge.Other than that it works okay.

i picked a few packs of energizers for my finepix s5200, at 2500mah each. there also junk even with a full charge thay go flat after a few clicks with the flash. there made in japan.

i diy my own cells from a motorola walkabout pack, there only NiMH 1500mAh but last forever and work with the energizer charger . i had to solder a blob of solder on the ends so thay work.

better than anything i can find on the shelf.

There's something wrong with those batteries. I have both AA and AAA of those for use in my Wii/Gamcube remotes, mouse, keyboard, and my MP3 player. They work about as long as the Duracell ones. For the AAAs, about 60mA for about 15 hours. That puts me at about 900mAh, which is exactly what they're rated for.

*remembers that he needs to get more rechargables*
