    EEMB vs PaleBlue?

    These usb-c rechargeable D batteries seem pretty similar, except the EEMB version has 500 more mah and cost less than half as much. Anyone have experience with both? I’m simply looking for something for my flameless candles so it‘s hard to justify the cost of PaleBlue but I also worry the...

    Request help with DuraHyrbid AAAs

    I just purchased several new black-topped 800 mah DuraHyrbrid AAAs and wanted to Refresh/Analyze them in my MH-C9000 in order to put them into paired sets. I set the C9000 to charge at 400 ma and discharge at 200 ma. Last night, I put four in the C9000 and went to bed. This morning, two were...

    Resurrecting HIGH AAs with C9000

    I know from searching and reading other posts that the C9000 is overly sensitive to rejecting HIGH sells and that its cutoff is somewhere around 2 volts. I have several 2300 AAs that have a reported internal resistance of 2.35 or greater. I used good batteries to start a Break-In process and...

    marking or labeling batteries?

    Thanks, everyone. It sounds like I can simply write on it using a sharp, and maybe cover it with some tape if it starts to come off. I just wasn't sure if there would be a problem with the heat while charging or anything.

    marking or labeling batteries?

    What's the best way to mark or label a battery? can I just write on it using a sharpy? Are labels from a p-touch a good idea?

    What's latest version/firmware/model for Maha C9000?

    Thank you, Bones. You have been very helpfull. I originally bought the C9000 for two reasons. First, to ensure the batteries I use in my flashes are fully charged for max performance. And second, to treat them better than cheaper chargers in an effort to get the longest life out of them...

    Maha MH-C9000 SUPPORT / FAQ - continuation

    Yes, the cell did feel warm, though not as warm as the one I pulled out this morning with over 3000 mah. I went ahead and pulled the cell out. I figured no sense in waiting for the 4000 mah cut-off. One thing that surprised me though is that it was only showing 1.41 volts. Do the volts...

    What's latest version/firmware/model for Maha C9000?

    I thought the first and second editions both provided the same primary charge before switching to the top-off charge. Is that not true? Also, do you have any concern that the top-off charge will overcharge a battery in the first edition (and second, I believe) as the primary charge is so...

    Maha MH-C9000 SUPPORT / FAQ - continuation

    Most of my AAAs are Rayovak Hybrids, are about a year old, and have been used in my toddler's toys. I typically charge them at 400 ma as they are rated at 800 mah. If I use a decharge mode, I discharge them at 200 ma. When I pulled the battery this morning, I believe the voltage was at 1.51...

    Maha MH-C9000 SUPPORT / FAQ - continuation

    I have a two year old C9000 (code 0G0B01). It seems to work okay with AA batteries with only the occassional missed termination. With AAA batteries, however, it is 50-50. Last night I forgot to check it before going to bed and found it had forced 3150 into an 800 mah battery. Unfortunately...

    NiCD capacities?

    I found some old NiCD batteries in an old flashlight of mine and put them through the refresh and analyze mode on my C9000. They both ended up having a capacity of approximately 750 and were within 5-10 of each other. The strange thing is that there is no capacity rating on the batteries that...

    Improved Maha C9000…

    I'm back after charging AAA's for the first time. I have the 2nd version of the C9000 and have charged 2000mah AA's at 500ma without problem, so I set the C9000 to charge three 800mah AAA's at 200ma. All three terminated at about the same time with about the same capacity, but they went much...

    Best place to buy Enerloops

    Thanks. I will probably just pick up a few Hybrids at Walmart then. I unfortunately don't have a Circuit City or an HS Gregg near me. As for CircuitCity.com, their price is outrageous . . . I hope the store has them cheaper if you are buying them there.

    Best place to buy Enerloops

    I did a search but only found very old posts about these things coming out, and though I know I have read more recent posts about them, I can't find any. I know Ritz has them, but does anyone else? Or are the Hybrids that I can buy at Walmart as good? Thanks, Bob
