I'm glad you didn't test the EBL's I tested yesterday. LOL Some of those Li-ion batteries did very well, I like the micro USB charging feature. I was surprised to see the voltage drop as much as it did under load. Thanks for another fantastic testing video, and the NiMH update!

I find the usb charging annoying, as they don't seem to allow you to use a regular charger as an option. Usb or nothing.

@martinda7446 3 жыл бұрын

The Li-ion AA batteries have electronics for charging and a buck for voltage..They will limit performance over a primary cell, take up space and so on. The performance limitations include voltage drop under load. This is not the cell impedance but the electronics also minimising current availability. This is guess work but I assume it is this way.

@@ProjectFarm I want to know if there is a charger that will keep more than just four fully charged and maintained. I am a mechanic in a shop with a LOT of heavy equioment, and I use a headlamp extensively, and I go through a LOT of batteries, for the headlamp and flashlights. I would love to know if such a charger exists, and how well they stack up. Also, a workup on solar chargers would be nice, too.

Yeah, I have a bunch of EBLs. Goofy how they have to be charged in pairs. A lot of devices, like flashlights and headlamps for example, use 3 batteries. Makes charging equally drained batteries near impossible.

In future battery videos, for both rechargeable and non-rechargeable, it'd be great to see a few other tests. 1) How well they perform after and/or during being exposed to heat or cold. 2) How well non-rechargeable batteries perform and how many cycles they last using specialty battery chargers designed for non-rechargeables. (Yes, those work and are safe if you follow the guidelines.) 3) How many cycles the standard rechargeable batteries last and how well they perform up till the end. And, finally, 4) How many joules can the batteries survive? For example, if there's a surge while charging or short circuit from device usage.

I'd really like to see an in-room portable "HEPA" filter/purifier test, where protection factor (or percent filtration) of airborne particles 0.3μm in diameter is measured, as well as airflow rate. Also, I'd really appreciate if you could include a home made 24" 7000+ CFM rated wideblade fan, combined with a Lennox X6675 MERV 16 (95%) filter taped directly together with no obvious leaks (I believe this will be one of the most effective AND most cost effective filtration devices for Covid). Although we keep hoping Covid is over, for those of us with compromised health and an endless supply of Covid variants, we will likely be relying on filtration technology to keep us safe for the foreseeable future.

"Safeloop" - wonder what they were going for there... hmm... an interesting test would be to take these and put them on a NiMH charger to see which are smart enough to deal with that - since that could easily accidentally happen. The high voltage drop under load and, high cut-off voltage along with the high price will have me sticking to NiMH for a while.

LOL, poor attempt at piggybacking on Eneloop. I think most of the Lithiums have a batt protection along with the usb, so doubt they'd die. But then considering who is making them, that might be a good test after all.

@@boots7859 "I think most of the Lithiums have a batt protection" You would be surprised at some of the shit on the market. I can't remember the exact term, but I think there are "regulated" and "unregulated" 18650 cells. The unregulated ones have no intelligence to them. They'll discharge as much as you want and they'll overcharge as much as you want. They have better performance but they're also bigger fire hazards. The lower cost of making them gives companies an incentive to market their cells as regulated but not actually putting any kind of electronic regulation on them.

Same here. The 1.5v is nice but for most things other than incandescent flashlights eneloops work fine and have been the most trouble-free for me. Or "eneloop pro" for a few things that benefit from the higher mAH. There's also a wider assortment of chargers and I charge in banks of 8 without having to fuss with little USB cords. If these progress to where Sony, Panasonic or LG start making them I'll be more inclined to try. But... "Pownergy"? "Safeloop"? -- no thanks.

@@davewolf8869 there's a lot of ignorance surrounding systems of measurement. It is often displayed by calling US Customary Imperial. Imperial didn't even come to be until 1836. The US developed our system in 1789. We borrowed names from the ancient system but that's it. We may have used a liquid measure but then the Empire adopted another measurement? I can't remember all the details myself. Then at some later date we all adopted the international inch. Which only further confuses people as to what came from where. The inch we use today is neither the old US nor Imperial one. A Swede actually made it. He made the best inches in the world so everyone beat a path to his door. Ford ultimately bought the guy and imported him to the USA. When you're as rich as Ford was you could do that sort of thing.

I want to go to the metric system as well so it's easy to do math with measurements, and it works better conceptually. I don't understand the meaning of the metric system intuitively but I do use it often. Perhaps I should just switch to Celsius and get used to it. It would be hard for a while but I could easily learn.

The charger you have in your video, for example, I looked for and found that the company may have changed hands and the product quality went down the tubes.. I am looking at the brand new XTAR VC8S 8 bay multi chemistry charger / reconditoner / analyzer and a set of Lithium and NiMH batteries for two different applications..
