    How to measure true current coming from charger? (Sierra Electric JB5411 Charger)

    It seems termination voltage is 1.375 regardless if it's a rechargeable or alkaline battery. Haven't experimented to see what the current is for different chemistries, but the alkalines voltage climbs faster. This charger sucks. I don't even think there's a trickle charge mode because even...

    How to measure true current coming from charger? (Sierra Electric JB5411 Charger)

    Those are very elaborate instructions, thanks for directing me there! I will have to get a better multimeter it seems for this to be accurate.

    How to measure true current coming from charger? (Sierra Electric JB5411 Charger)

    I know that most people here are not fans of recharging disposable alkaline cells, and I agree. Self discharge rate is high, batteries are WAY more prone to leak, and rechargeables are efficient more than ever before. I have lots of good LSD NiMH cells and a late generation Maha C9000 that I...

    Eneloop cracking

    Now you have justification to get some new Eneloop XXX 2500's. Not all is bad ;-)

    Absolutely beautiful! Love the rails/power line combination.

    Eneloop cracking

    Well, maybe it did shrink then, but I've had battery's with plastic labels in sub-c temps too and nothing like this has ever happened. The voltage drop is what gets me, I think Streamer may be right.

    Eneloop cracking

    May have short-circuted with some metal objects too and gotten hot enought to melt the wrapper.

    Rayovac Infinity Gold?

    But the standard Rayovac Alkaline's already fall short of Energizer and Duracell's, what's the point of having an even cheaper version? It's just odd. Still waiting to hear back to confirm. BTW - I only compare Rayovac to Energizer since they feel the need to say they last just as long, which...

    Rayovac Infinity Gold?

    Yeah it would. Sent Rayovac an email today, hopefully I'll get an answer sometime this week. "Hi. I am curious of the differences between the standard Rayovac Alkaline batteries and the Rayovac Infinity Gold Alkaline batteries. Is there a current spec sheet that lists the differences between...

    Rayovac Infinity Gold?

    Okay, so we have the standard Rayovac Alkaline Max, then the Rayovac "Ultra Pro" industrial version. What is this Infinity Gold Alkaline I've been seeing around? Anyone know if there's a difference or it this a marketing fork? I can't find any specs on these.

    Fascination with fake/cheap batteries....

    Wow.

    Fascination with fake/cheap batteries....

    I recycle everything possible, including batteries, but unfortunatley I don't think the two are connected. It may have something to do with wanting to see how long they last like eh4 mentioned or something subconsious like that, I don't know. Maybe it's just a phase or weird reaction to the...

    What happens when I'm bored?

    Wow, when I first saw that pic, I thought it was designed like that. Great work!
