• Note about specifications: Contents herein do not constitute a warranty and are for reference only.

Maximum temperature raise at different discharge currents: 1A:+0,3°C, 2A:+1,3°C, 3A:+2,4°C, 5A:+4,8°C, 7A:+6,7°C, 10A:+9,3°C, 15A:+12,2°C, 20A:+12,8°C
NiMH C cells from Energizer, they are fairly low capacity.











The two cells matches fairly well, the performance is typical for NiMH, but rather low for the size.















[size=+3]Conclusion[/size]

The batteries looks fine and performance is very good for AA sized batteries, but not very impressive for a C sized cell.

How is the test done and how to read the charts
Compare to other AA/AAA batteries: Alkaline/NiMH/Lithium

Thanks HKJ!

I use the same D-cell versions (same 2500mah rated capacity) in a few low-drain portable radios that call for D-Cells, but I don't need to lug the weight of the larger capacity versions around.

I highly suspect that inside is just a true AA. Care to cut yours open?

I've also used AA eneloops in the fully-enclosed Eneloop D-spacers too of course, but had to try these out. They seem ok, but time will tell. The trick is to get fresh ones, not the ones I've seen hanging on a peg at my home improvement store for over 10 years.

I would expect a Sub-c cell inside. I may open one later this year.

I think they are sub C's in both the C and D cell energizer NiMH's.

I think most people would be better off with AA eneloops in adapter tubes, eneloops cost less and don't need a C or D cell size charger - eneloops probably have a lot less self discharge too.
