Sorry to post this I tried searching and couldn't find what I wanted.
I have some brand new 1500x Eneloop AA's, and was testing them on a Maha C9000.
Their initial discharge out of the packet was around 1440mah.
A couple of Refresh&Analyses after that were around the 1860-1900 range. Is that normal? Its a bit disappointing to be honest, especially compared to Imedion 2400's.
A breakin cycle after the R&A's was much more like what I was expecting - they had capacities of around 1980mah.
I also tried a normal charge and left the cells in the charger for 2 hours after "Done" appeared to ensure they got the topoff charge, then immediately discharged and got around 1880 as the capacity which is a lot less than the BI capacity. I know R&A usually gives lower figures, but that is a much bigger difference than I was expecting. I'm guessing this is related to the C9000's 1.47v cutoff, but note I did allow the topoff charge to go in (which adds another 200mah I believe). I noticed the charge was being terminated down in the ~1700 input charge range (based on max v I think).
Is the Maha actually stopping me from getting the most out of the eneloops?
Charge rates were 0.5C and discharge rates were 0.2C except for Breakin cycle.
