hello
have a problem with these batteries can not upload them to more 'than 240 mh, I tried charging currents of 0.1-0.3-0.5 ampere ... but do not load more than 0.240-0.260 ha
Use a turnigy accucel 6 with delta pack in default.
I have no problems with other nimh .. through them.

What's wrong?

chapier61 (70%)
What's wrong?
That's because your batteries are nearby to be fully charged so that you cannot "add" more than about 250 mAh. I have bought a lot of them and have found them all excellent with a very small (if not ridiculous)rate of autodischarge. Don't forget that when you recieved them, they were allmost at full charge allready

mouchadino (28%)
your batt is failure..../worn out

chapier61 (70%)
What's wrong?...Yourself ! Your batteries are almost at 90% charged allready...

Janos (100%)
I've got the same results with Accucell-6 charger. The solution was the following what solved the problem: I've charged the cells 1-by-1, do not charge the cells in serial.

Is this a rechargeable battery...??

conny (50%)
yes..
rechargeable nimh

chapier61 (70%)
Of course, and I can add they are excellent. You can trust me.

mouchadino (28%)
yes..... rechargeable...batt

TieffliegerRudi (71%)
Yes he is.Ja sie ist Wiederaufladbar

loppacher (100%)
Yes, an it comes even already charged! Highly recommended

10nemo (79%)
Very much so..better than most.. It just comes well (but not fully ) charged. Holds the stored charge for a lot longer than standard nimh rechargeables. Highly recommended..both AA & AAA sizes. Out of 50 or so I have not come across any duds.

stivi112233 (100%)
Yes!!!

Hello,
I would like to use for the RX application in my EDGE 540 180. Six (6) servos are connected, and 5 of then are 10kg. Is this batterie able to supply the system up to 10amps for transient?

Charles0123 (43%)
Should work great, just be sure that the pack can maintain the voltage required by your Rx under that load. Should not be a problem with these cells though.

adam.bogocz (78%)
Hi, well I dont think so, you should use bigger 1,2V cells, these could fail in peak(6 servos are too much) and you reciever will "shut down" for a while.. and even if they could handle this current, they will be damaged soon.. in summary, they are not builded for these currents. I recommend to you, to use somethink like that *******rcm-pelikan.cz/b2b/products/7BA10090/b_0.jpg

chapier61 (70%)
Never tested at 10 Amp's... BUT ! your 6 servo's never move simultaneouly so that I should be astonished if the total consumption at a given time could exceed -to the most- 3 Amp's. So, don't worry about I' m sure they can do the job and give you more than one hour "non stop" flight.

Have just received 16 of the T2200-AA. I am going to use the Accucel-6 50W 6A Balancer/Charger. Don't want to blow up the charger or batteries. What mode on the charger do I use to discharge / charge these batteries? Thanks, Walt

chapier61 (70%)
Mode NiMh or Nicad...and the charger will do the job automaticaly and will stop charging after it notice the "delta peak" (terminal voltage loss of a fraction of volt).

vynner (59%)
it states nimh.... go to nimh mode on your charger to charge them

adam.bogocz (78%)
choose NiMH, discharge current can be max (1A) and charge it at 300-400 mA(if you can, if you hurry charge at higher, when I am in hurry I give them 800 mA, sometimes more. but is affecting lifetime of the cells). But what else I can recommend, dont charge all of them at one time. You will have bigger difences of charge level between cells and delta peak is harder to catch.. I am charging 8 cells and in next round the rest.

MVVS (84%)
NiMH Charge/NiMH Discharge

chapier61 (70%)
mode : "NiMh" ...and "start" let your charger go : it' ll charge till the fullfilling of your batteries and stop by itself. Do not forget they are yet almost fullcharged allready

hmattar (72%)
Just got 4 of these. Put in my Spektrum Dx5 and didn`t turn on. Pluged with the spektrum charger, no light again. Just started to charge in a wall charger, will try again tomorrow. Any Clues?

navgamma (20%)
it worked fine on my hitec optic 6, the stock batt sucks anyway.

chapier61 (70%)
And what are you doing with your voltmeter meanwhile ? Please measure each cell before charging or turning "on".

chapier61 (70%)
??? inverted polarity ? Verify ! If that what you call "Spektrum Dx5 " is your transmitter, you must insert eight (or six ?) battery sticks herein
and not... 4 (I don't know that particular transmiter but I should be astonished if it could run on 4,8 volts only...

hmattar (72%)
Found out they`re bigger than "regular" batteries, so they weren`t making contact. I can use 3 of these 1 regular AA so in order to fit. Dx5 takes just 4.

You have to key the warranty codes within 24hrs, so in case of a fault with the battery, you can file a claim to HK. You need to enter the warranty then fill up a form on the support page before shipping the battery back to HK. Be advised that return shipping is at YOUR OWN COST. They will only pay for the replacement(If any) items shipping.

chapier61 (70%)
OH ! These excellent batteries are so good and so cheap that, in case of eventual faillure of one of them (which never happened to me till now), you do not have to worry about the warranty. You should have Better to buy a dozen more at this very competitive price at HK. Very usefull for a lot of applications.

nitro (35%)
how does the warrenty codes work thanks

adam.bogocz (78%)
Hi, as far as I know these cell dont have warranty codes..

eXtasis (72%)
Only LiPo battery have wareanty codes

chapier61 (70%)
Don't worry about warranty, the quality is excellent and you have no bad surprise to watch.

I've been using these batteries in my transmitters for several months and have been really impressed. They are truly LSD and I can use them for two or three outings without recharging.

However, DO NOT let them completely discharge as I accidentally did. Despite recharging and discharging several times, I can only get about half of the original capacity. This is an operator problem not a battery problem. Also, I've had not problem fitting them into my transmitter battery compartments on several different kinds of transmitters as well as cameras, flashlights and other electronics.

komnata507 (34%)
use this ***********hobbycity****/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=9787

mouchadino (28%)
check all the connections are usually dirty fitting battery connection

epo flyer (20%)
you need to discharge charge leave them alone for a day and charge again.

Graham Daniel (43%)
Keep them as a matched set, and that shouldn't happen.

chapier61 (70%)
Did you try to discharge a (big) condenser pole to pole in the faulty elts ? Sometimes, that work !

JFARBOLEDA (72%)
LET ME SAY SOMETHING. I THINK IS TRUE ALL ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF THIS BATTERIES BUT THERE ARE A SINGLE THING THAT IS REALLY BAD. THEY ARE ALMOST 0.3 MILIMETERS MORE THICK THAN REAL AA BATTERIES SO 8 OF THEM DOES NOT FIT INSIDE OF MANY FLAT BATTERY COMPARTMENTS. PLEASE CORRECT THAT GUYS!

enzie (83%)
hello jfar...
you are right.but this is the same size to every LSD-batteries even other brands also ENELOOP.

jeremy (87%)
i have a futaba and hitec tx and they fit in there nicely.

PITUKO (40%)
excelente e barata

Ebiker (9%)
I don't wana hear that, just bought some!

Moacir (75%)
Almost any Ni-MH battery is like that.. not shure how... but i only had this issue with an traxxas car transmiter....

spitfire2010 (27%)
I don't think hk can do anything about this. I have only every noticed that they are a bit tight in spectrum controlers but I won't be using spectrum. Ever again

Fernando (42%)
I use this in my traxxas transmitter (8 bat) and it fit perfect!!!!

chapier61 (70%)
t'es un gros con, mais alors, vraiment con tuer et de plus, tu es grossier comm un peigne!

10nemo (79%)
You are correct but they wont change it.. They fit just fine in the Hobby King 4 & 6 chnl 2.4 radios, at least.

mc4798 (68%)
I have a duratrax onyx 230 and 240 chargers. Could I charge these batteries with either of those chargers ? If not how do you charge them ?

PITUKO (40%)
excelente e barata

Dd197 (43%)
If your charger does NiCd battery, It will be good for NiMh because they use the same Delta Peak system for charging.

Watto (58%)
Not true. While both NIMH and NiCd chargers can use Negative Delta V to detect when the battery is full, this signal is much more pronounced in the NiCd chemistry than in NIMH batteries. Which means that a charger designed for NiCd may not detect when a NIMH battery is full, and overcharge it.

Moacir (75%)
You can charge with any peak charger.. check if it is a peak charger...

nobodyFamous (80%)
any charger that will charge NiMh cells will do. You can even use the Energizer AA chargers you can get anywhere. If your onyx chargers wont do 1 cell, just pick up an AA battery holder and wire it with plugs to charge. (eg. 4 or 6 cell) Thats what I used to do with my old Dynamite peak charger. (4 cells at 1 amp)

chapier61 (70%)
Please describe first your Duratrax (exotics...) charger : if they can charge "NiMh" batteries (see you instructions leaflet)they can charge these batteries.

Edsel (43%)
Hey HobbyCity I want to use turnigy/HK receiver pack 2/3AA hump 5cell 6v NiMH. Please sell it for us!!!!!!!! Why not LSD packs?????? Will be amazing!!!!!!!

Eric1180 (-53%)
I 2nd that!

JFARBOLEDA (72%)
HELLO MC4798. YOU CAN CHARGE YOUR TURNIGY LSD BATTERIES WITH YOUR ONYX CHARGERS. ONLY PAY ATTENTION IN THE AMPs YOU WILL DELIVER TO THEM. USE A 10% OF CHARGE RATE FOR SLOW CHARGE. NEVER CHARGE NI-MH BATTERIES ABOVE 1000 mAh = 1 AMP. ALWAYS MONITOR THE BATTERIES FOR RAISING IN TEMPERATURE. THEY CAN STAY WARM BUT NEVER HOT!

PITUKO (40%)
excelente e barata

Fernando (42%)
Just buy the batteries and make your own pack like I do!!!!!!!!!!

chewy (33%)
I don't think these are suitable for flight packs are they are low-discharge current types and not capable of delivering the high current that may be needed by digital servos.

chapier61 (70%)
Dear Edsel, buy a good 100 watts electric soldering iron, some electronic solder, a tube of stain soldering paste, wire and appropriate plug and build your own pack. You're a modeller no ? Or only a "as stupid as lazy" consumer ?

Coyo (56%)
Is this battery have memory effect?
How to charge this battery, should it be discharged first like NiCad or can be charged at any state like LiPo?
Any suggestion for delta peak sensitivity setting when charging using Accucel-6?

Eric1180 (-53%)
NiMh aren't nearly as bad a nicad with the memory effect. it can be charged at any state.

PITUKO (40%)
excelente e barata

Dd197 (43%)
These batteries have no memory effect like NiCd but more like LiPo. Just pay attention, It use the same charging than NiCd because It use Delta Peak for ending the charge. For charging with Accucel-6, you must refer to the charging of NiCd in your manuel. I charge these with my Accucel-8 and no problem at all.

Almet_Evgeny (46%)
yes, this NiMH battery have memory effect. charge and discharged battery in NiMH mode, delta peak sensitivity 3mV

spitfire2010 (27%)
Nimh should have very limited memory affect. I charge after every flight and I've been doing that for a year. I never let them go flat

chapier61 (70%)
No memory effect, theoreticaly allready charged, recharge on "universal" NiCad/NiMh charger (switch on NiMh) or use your Accucel-6 (if you solder a battery-pack) setting on "NiMh" (or if it do not exist, setting on "NiCad" ). If you are not in a hurry, charge between 0,5 and 1 Amp is a good advice for a long-life use.

eXtasis (72%)
Yes but they heve very low memory efect :D

chapier61 (70%)
These are NIMH and not Nicad, so, no memory effect.
So too, no need to discharge them before charge (and remember they are almost fully charged allready). Notwhistanding, you can cycle them from time to time so you can see where they "state" in matter of capacity otherise that's not necessary.
Do not worry too much about delta peak: between 0.03 and 0.08 volt (3 to 8 cent of volt) is far enought.

10nemo (79%)
No memory effect, it's a Nimh, not NiCad. I just set my charged manually to 2200mah NiMh and 200 mah charge rate.. After many recharges, at any discharged level, including dead flat ( but not left that way for long) I still get close to full range discharge/charge from them. They leave any other cheapies for dead.

Pat Curry (63%)
Will these cells fit right in the HK-T6A TX and allow me to charge through the jack on the side of the radio?

Jolly Jumper (32%)
Very good question, I would like to know this too. I'm using the HK-7X instead of the HK-T6A.

Dd197 (43%)
I made my battery pack by myself with shrink tubes and I use these for my HK-7X Transmitter and It fit just but very well, no movement at all. I charge it through the jack on the side of the radio and it work fine.

Moacir (75%)
will fit on any AA battery radio. Yes you can charge through the jack.

chapier61 (70%)
Yes, they fit perfectly right and are/could be/ charged through the side jack. You shall be (as I am) very satisfied with. Long emmitting time(more than 8 hours)and very low autodischarge during storage, exactly as specified by HK.

mr.sneezy (54%)
Jason, will we see these cells in tag welded eight cell packs for Futaba and JR transmitters ?

kabuto (14%)
why u try lipo or somethink you can use it but lipo betterthan aa.

JC (24%)
Hobbyking has a better and cheaper choise. A Lipo for transmitters for less than 8$ (1450mah). I use it in my futaba its the best.

mr.sneezy (54%)
I prefer NiMh in my TX, till we get fire proof Lipos...

chapier61 (70%)
Weld them yourself, guy, and... stop waiting somebody for help as if you were a child. You 're a "proud" modeller after all, no ?

1/26/2010
herve c (63%)
can i use an usual nimh charger for these batteries ? do i have to use a special charger ?Could you give me advance for charging 2300 LSD batterie .I would not like destroying my new cells .
thanks

mr.sneezy (54%)
Yes, any NiMh charger that is NOT too fast will work on NiMh LSD cells. I find fast chargers 'may' overheat some brand cells. I also use a Accucel-6 as well as wall chargers just fine. I find about 0.3A charge current works well for me.

ondrej.tomcik (50%)
Mr.Sneezy. You have set DeltaPeak for default? And charging with 0.3A? I think accucel not catch deltapeak on this current.

michaelhay (40%)
Hi Mr Sneezy... How do you connect this battery or 8 of them to the Accucel-6? Thanks

MrHmmm (40%)
You can use a normal NiMh charger to charge these batteries, no problem.

JC (24%)
Usual nimh.

mr.sneezy (54%)
@ michaelhay See my photo here http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uploads/52416021X967X35.JPG

spitfire2010 (27%)
You can use a normal nicad charger for these cells. same voltage. They are good batteries too

chapier61 (70%)
YES, you can (must !) use an usual Nimh for these batteries. And if you buy a performing modern charger (that can almost charge every kind of batteries), make sure it has a Nimh capability.
In the meantime your usual charger is good enough and you will never risk distroying your cells. HK can offer you a large choice of good chargers at competitive prices: examine their offers step by step, I' m sure you will find one that fit your need for today and tomorrow at a reasonable price.

1/11/2010
james (64%)
Can you use the store bought Energizer charger to charge these batteries ? Thanks James

davidpc2 (47%)
Which are the specs for that charger? output voltage and more important output amps, this one is important so if charges at high amps could overheat any battery.

zillom (61%)
Why not? I'm charging these with "GP charger". Regards

MrHmmm (40%)
Should be no problem, as long as it is a 'normal' NiMh charger.

Moacir (75%)
yes... it only need a peak charge....

chapier61 (70%)
Practically, Yes, every "new" (= not too old - ten years old or more -) Energizer charger can do the job provided it has a "Nimh" position (so not only devoted to the sole "NICad" batteries)

jerrykl720 (91%)
hey Jason will u get some sub-c or c

spitfire2010 (27%)
This would be very nice

12/30/2009
HyruleJedi86 (50%)
So, can these be recharged then once they are dead? I have an energizer charger and rechargeables but they really don't last that long, so these would be great in things like my xbox 360 controller if they can be recharged.

Eric1180 (-53%)
Yes they can... Why else would you buy batteries from china?

chapier61 (70%)
If they are really "dead" ...there is no hope. If the polarity is inverted, there -maybe- stay a chance to put they back to live as I did with Nicad's: charge a big condenser at 30 volts straight current and...discharge it pole to pole in the cell. But when I read you, I 'm not sure to understand of what you're speaking about, it seems to me that you have "old" Nicad batteries "that, indeed, really don't last that long" : in that occurrence, you must (try to) cycle them by several successive maximum charges and discharges (to 0.8 volt/per cell). But why shan't buy once a good modern charger with a display board giving you in real time the state of charge/discharge as these sold by HK at reasonnable prices ?

12/17/2009
ali (80%)
can used to rx?

Eric1180 (-53%)
Yes but you will need to know how to solder and get some of the large Heat shrink HK sells ... Or buy just a tray

a.damin (63%)
I use This Batterie in my Rx multiplex royal evo9

MrHmmm (40%)
No problem.

Moacir (75%)

Absoulty. Have been doing so for years

eadward (70%)
Cost including shipping to Canada is only $1.81 per cell. A great deal.
Just order 57 of them and have them shipped Air Parcel. Someone will ask what will I do with 57. When I showed other modelers what I had in my Tx they all wanted them. So I sold most of them at cost. Had a hard time telling them they were not all for sale.

Turbobeaver (97%)
Holy cow!57 batteries at a total cost of $103.50?You Calgarians truly are rolling in the dough out there in oil rich Alberta Edward.LOL!!Just pulling your leg Ed.Good to see a fellow Canuck posting on here.Still waiting to see how the jury judges on the quality of these cells in the long run.I was at Costco yesterday and they had packs of Sanyo Eneloop batteries(6xAA,2xAAA) on sale for $17.49.That works out to $2.18 per cell.If I bought 2 packs that would give me one AAA RX pack and 3 AA RX packs(or one AA TX pack and one AA RX pack).Excellent price for original Eneloops.Keep us posted Ed on how they work out for you.Cheers!

eadward (70%)
I'm not in Calgary, I'm in Victoria. We fly our electrics at the Esquimalt High School. Previously I've used the Turnegy 2300 Cells in my Tx. Just checked some that hadn't been charged in 3 months and they were still OK.

11/30/2009
Turbobeaver (97%)
Yeesh!My apologies everybody.I screwed up the math on that one big time.I think I must of had an extra item accidentally in my cart driving up the price when I was originally working this out.Thanks MagnusE1 for pointing that out to me.He is correct in saying that the cost works out to $2.80 per cell and to max out your shipping will bring the final cost dowm,however that usually means you end up spending more than you planned just to justify your shipping costs.I'm not so sure about the logic in that.The best scenario here is to try and share a order with a friend or two if everybody just needs a few items at a time and share the shipping costs.Got a few buddies looking for battery packs so I may give that one a whirl and see how that goes.

Turbobeaver (97%)
Just to clarify the above comments,this was based on a buy of 8 cells strictly as an example.That works out to $2.80 per cell based on the 251-500g postage rate of $12.12 for Canada.To max out your postage fee(based on the $12.12 rate),you could buy up to 14 of these batteries without going over and that would bring the cost down to $2.15 ea.

11/25/2009
Turbobeaver (97%)
Holy cow!It costs $12.12 to ship 8 batteries at a cost of $10.32.I obviously won't be buying these any time soon.These weights/shipping charges are plain out to lunch on this one.

Jason5001 (4%)
Any NiMH AA battery usually weighs around 30g each.

Flew Boy (89%)
Turbo, turbo, turbo! $3.00 a battery sounds like a pretty dam good price to me mate, the last time I bought batteries at a local shop it cost me $5.50 each for enegizer rechargable batteries, they would loose enough charge during the week while I was at work they didn't have any left for a weekend of flying when used in a DX6i and I would have to charge them every week (anoying) now that I've got these in the post my troubles will be over.

Jason5001 (4%)
These items are usually purchased with other items in the order, reducing shipping to just a few cents per battery.
I don't think any customer would order these batteries alone without adding other items to their parcel.

Turbobeaver (97%)
Given my above example of costs,that works out to exactly $5.61 per battery for a Chinese made LSD AA battery.Original Sanyo Eneloop AA batteries here in Canada sell for around the $3-$4 range per battery depending where you buy them.As you can see,the shipping costs here bring the cost up to what original Eneloops sell for here locally.Just not personally cost effective for me to follow through with.I used the example of 8 batteries because that is what most would use in a typical TX application.For me personally,a lipo TX battery pack is a better choice and is more cost effective especially when shipping is mixed in to the equation.Thanks Jason just the same for making these batteries available for other members.

magnusEl (81%)
Turbo,how did you calculate the price to be $5:61?
Total cost, if you only buy 8 cells (and dont use up to 500g packing weight) is $2:80 /cell.
Not use more than 280g in shiping and pay for up to 500g is stupid, so the acctual cost/cell would in 99% be lover.
That is my opinion!

Flew Boy (89%)
Same thought crossed my mind Magnus, even with EMS shipping to almost anywhere in the world it only works out to be about $3 each, but as you said and I did, just fill the cart with other stuff you need then they're only about $1.50 each (SWEEET) :oD

gazza2009au (76%)
lol flew boy im hearing ya! i have the energizers worse batteries ever for holding charge i also use these batteries for my torch when i go fishing a full charged battery last in my torch one night next night its flat we bought some everready batteries from the shop weeks later the torch still worked on the same batteries lol im hopping to grab enough of these in a couple of days :o)
well done hobby city just what we needed

Moacir (75%)
shipping is a problem on those batteries , but i got to tell you. i have bought so many brands and this is the first that really keeps the charge for months... GREAT

11/25/2009
Flew Boy (89%)
Ohh maann! Just when I thought I had bought everything I need, they go and bring these in. 20 for me thanks :oD

Check wrong description on line 1 "fule pumps"...

Tadango (80%)
Are these sells the same type as sanyo eneloop? There are very few factories that make these kind of cells.

rcwck (88%)
Hope they are the Sanyos. Tenergy has them also but reviews have been bad.

Jason5001 (4%)
4 factories in China make them, actually.

HAL-9000 (72%)
I'm quite sure, these are not Sanyos. I've been using Eneloops for over a year now, their capacity is around 1950-2000 mAH. LSDs hold up more then 2200 (tested on four). With Eneloops, I've tested, that they keep the charge for very long time, I use them instead of alkalines in all home appliances.
With LSDs, I time will tell, if they are really low self discharge, as advertised.

Dragevo (79%)
I'm sure HK would sell a lot more of these if the word 'rechargeable' was included in the description.

alfreddajero (63%)
I have a couple of these coming and would like to see what the Maha C9000 makes of them. Im trying a couple for my flashlights and plan on buying more for my Airtronics M8 radio.

rcgromov (60%)
st, if you only buy 8 cells (and dont use up to 500g packing weight)
