Rechargeale C Battery

I got these to use with a baby music soother for the crib. I didn’t want to constantly eat up batteries. They charged up great. So far so good. I’m excited to see how long they last. I’ll update if any issues.

Ther are a good value.

After 3 days, seems to be working fine.

As someone who made a career with computers and electronics (started when I was 5 years old), I have always had an obsession with batteries, especially rechargeable ones. I decided to make this review to give everyone my perspective on these EBL C size Ni-MH batteries. This review will be an ongoing review and I will update as I get more information to present. I ordered two sets of batteries for a total of 8. Four of them will be used for my Sangean HDR-16A radio, and the other 4 as spares to swap out when needed. The first four I ordered came as a package with a charger. The next four I ordered the next day, exact same brand and model/size.When I received the first package - batteries and charger, I noticed the batteries said "Pre-Charged" on them. See picture. I put all four batteries that are supposed to be pre-charged into the charger. I figured if they were already charged, the charger would top them off before I used them. It took over 4 hours before the charger said they were full. I decided to see what rate the charger (EBL) was charging them. I discharged the 4 batteries for about an hour, and then started my testing. Here are the results:(I have averaged the numbers due to the charger charging at various duty cycles. - I used a stopwatch and ammeter.)With 1 battery in the charger, the rate was approximately 1000ma for the one battery. 1000maWith 2 batteries, the charge rate was 1000ma per cell (2000ma with a 50% duty cycle)With 3 batteries, the charge rate was 660ma per cell (2000ma with a 33% duty cycle)With 4 batteries, the charge rate was 500ma per cell (2000ma with a 25% duty cycle)So according to my rough calculations the batteries took approximately 2000+ maH of charge. The batteries are supposed to be 5000maH, so they were about half full. NOT PRECHARGED, or at least not 100% charged.I decided to get a bit more scientific with the second set that arrived today. I took two of the four batteries and put them on a different charger that keeps track of the maH put into each battery. The results were 2550 for the first battery, and 2539 for the second. Conclusion: They are shipped at 50% charge, assuming they do have the advertised 5000maH capacity.Originally I was going to skip the full "NOR" test on my charger, and just swap out batteries in the radio when the low battery light comes on, followed by a full discharge, then a full charge and reading the total maH put into each cell. I changed my mind, and decided to do a full NOR test. This test fully charges the battery(s) and then discharges them to cut-off, which is just under 1V. The total maH is then read off the charger which is basically the true capacity of the battery. It then fully charges the batteries leaving the result on the display.

Batteries are a good choice.

CHARGED & WORKED GREAT

great

It’s ok,doesn’t hold a charge long so use them after you charge them. Not sure but I think these sit at 1.2 volts instead of 1.5 volts like disposable ones like Duracell and energizer batteries you see at the stores.
