RE: Over rated batteries?
OK, we are getting some interesting perspectives here. Personally, I am on a learning curve here and appreciate all of your opinions. One person indicated there is an ANSI standard for NIMH batteries and I wonder if they could lead me to the ANSI standard number? In the mean time, I think I will try to discharge these batteries to .9 volt at 500 MAH discharge rate this next round and post the results. I have at least three forming (slow) 24 hour charges and four fast charges on each of these batteries. I have read somewhere (I think it was on RC Universe) that a NIMH battery that tests at 80% or less of its rated capacity should be discarded. I plan to install these batteries in a nice scale gas powered aircraft and would like to be confident they are good quality.
Thanks again for all of your input and opinions.
Best wishes, good luck and good flying.
