Ernie Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hi Guys, I'm just about to give my Rx nd Tx batteries their periodic recycle...My very old, and trusted 'battery book' says for nicads, to chuck em out if they get to less than 90% of their capacity. Now, I have a very nearly new 1500 nimh, but no matter how much I recycle it, I can only get it up to around 1300. This applies to most if my current stock of batteries.ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Richards Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Modern batteries often have their capacities stated using the best possible discharge rate to show the best possible capacity. This often means that they have been discharged at a very low rate when the capacity measurement is taken. I am gussing that you are discharging at a more typical usage rated. So I would not worry if I were you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
