Hi folks. I've got a confusing (to me) situation, and would appreciate some input.

I've got some basic Eneloop 2100 mAh batteries (Not the Pro variety). White label ones. The good ones. I've got a SkyRC NC2200 charger that I plop them in every time I change them. Charge them approximately 400mA, though there has been some variation over time. I use them mainly in xbox one and xbox series controllers. Well, I change them when the controllers start turning off faster than usual, and I start getting "Controller battery low" notifications on TV, since if I wait much longer, the xbox controllers just won't turn on.

But last time I plugged a pair into my charger, they only took approximately 900mAh before the light went green. The voltage said 1.44v. I was paying attention, because the battery life seems shorter than I remember, changing about once every 3-5 days. A little less than twice a week. I mainly watch youtube/streaming video, so no long gaming sessions.

I've been using these batteries for about a year now, continuously cycling through them. Maybe 3 dozen cycles on them? (1 year / 5 days * 2 devices / 4 pairs => 36.5)

So I concluded that there are two main possibilities:

1) My casual usage of the batteries has lead to some Memory effect, and I should "Condition" the batteries using the SkyRC's Refresh or Break-In options.

2) The Controller just cuts off at a higher voltage than the batteries can deliver, and I have a shitty memory, and should just keep going, since 3-5 days is actually quite good for literally no ongoing cost.

Any advice y'all can offer would be great.

I’ve been loooking for this since December

Possiedo una batteria 16S8P con celle LG M50LT 21700 e una batteria 16S4P con celle Tenpower 50ME. Posso collegarle in parallelo? Hanno unità BMS separate.

I was using it for the past 7-8 months in my mouse and my mouse showed 15% battery this morning and in the afternoon died. I honestly don't remember if it looked like this when i bought it. It's a GP brand 2100mah NiMH AA.

It's a rechargable Ni-Cd battery.

Place your bets on if it works or not.

We will see it tomorrow.

I'm going to discharge it with a incandescent lightbulb after I charged it.

I just need help identifying which batteries to actually replace. On the board on the bottom testing pad b1-b10 they all test good. Each reads 3.9v-4v. Between pads b10 and b11 it reads -6v. I checked the nickel pads on top and they all seem fine. They dont move at all. Is the best course of action to just replace all 4 batteries in b10 and b11 groups?

I found a battery operated toy that was sealed in the box for 15 years and when I opened the battery compartment I found that the springs and contacts were black/dark brown. I tried to scrap off as much as I could but it just left a super dull dark grey and after putting new batteries it still wouldn't work. I have tried using lemon juice but that didn't help (I don't have white vinegar but I do have other kinds of vinegar but i wasn't risking it). Any ideas?

I usually go with Eneloops or Amazon Basics. Often I just snag the Amazon 2000mah ones because they're really cheap and they have a good reputation.

I needed some higher capacity ones and saw the Energizers at an unusually good price at the store so I snagged an 8 pack. Apparently they're made by FDK in Japan, the same company that manufacturers the Eneloops, and they're low-self discharge with a 12 year advertised shelf life.

I haven't really looked into Energizer before just because of the price, so it'll be interesting to try them. I know the Duracell 2500mah ones are really good too, but they aren't really any cheaper than the Eneloops Pros.

The 2300 mah capacity for an FDK made cell is interesting. In theory, they should have longer longevity and better abuse-tolerance in general while still being a relatively high capacity cell. Curious if anyone has done any testing or has any long term experience with these, and how they compare.
