Test/review of Ansmann C 4500mAh 5035352 (Silver)

[size=+3]Ansmann C 4500mAh 5035352 (Silver)[/size]



Official specifications:

• Nominal voltage: 1.2V
• Maximum charge voltage: 1.5V
• Nominal capacity: 4500mAh at 0.2C
• Minimum capacity: 4500mAh at 0.2C
• Minimum capacity: 4200mAh at 1C
• Maximum continuous discharge: 6750mA
• Standard charge: 450mA
• Quick charge: 1350mA
• Fast charge: 2250mA
• Recommended termination: dv: -5mV, dT: 0.8 ~ 1°C/min, T: 45 °C 50°C
• Trickle charge current: 45 ~ 150mA
• Continuous overcharge: <450mA (no deformation or leakage within a year)
• Internal impedance: <20mOhm at 1kHz with fully charged battery
• Cycle life: >500
• Low self discharge: >80% remaining after 12 months at 20°C
• Ambient temperature: Standard charge: 0°C ~ 45°C, Fast charge: 10°C ~ 40°C, Discharge: -20°C ~ 65°C

This is a full capacity C cell from Germany (It is made in China and bought in Denmark).
Maximum temperature raise at different discharge currents: 1A:+0,4°C, 2A:+2,8°C, 3A:+4,6°C, 5A:+8,5°C, 7A:+11,6°C, 10A:+15,9°C, 15A:+20,9°C









Very well matching discharge curves and the cell easily match the rated capacity.















[size=+3]Conclusion[/size]

This looks to be a very good quality C sized NiMH battery with lots of capacity and low self discharge.
