Happy Days:

--- Quote ---Anyway, following up on the cheap Aldi cells, after 2 cycles with my charger, they took almost 6000Mah (they are 4000Mah cells) and restituted around 4500Mah with a 0.9A discharge  Not bad at all for a 10 euros pack!

Fred,…..look, I know I’m a bit thick & slow on the uptake, :oops:  and on top of all that I’m only an Englishman……………but what are you talking about??? :?:

As it reads it seems you’re saying that your 4000mA/h cells took 6000mA/h to charge, and discharged a total of 4500mA/h! How does that work??? :!:

Fred:
Hey Keith,

As far as I understand, if you charge a cell, really slowly, or carefully, you can pack up more energy in the cell, giving you back a bit of that extra energy.
I've heard that a long time ago, when I use to have buddies who worked for Saft (great time, use to have all the latest batteries for free at the time  :D ).

I think this is commonly(?) used by the F5 guys.

Anyway, almost 2000Mah more stored, is quiet a lot I think, but that's the numbers the charger give to me  :D

No expert in that field at all, but in my experience, not a surprise  :?:

Happy Days:
Well,……I’ve never heard of that before. :)
……..There’s an old saying,  “You learn something new every day.” :D

Hi fred

When it comes to batteries, if I am not happy with it, I throw it out!, cheaper than replacing a model. The b52 has 2 x 6v 3300 packs, after the test flight I found that one pack had discharged down very low, only it had the back up pack, I could have had a few bags of foam to pick up.  I checked this pack, and found a bad cell. The cell showed green on the checker.

Fred:
Hey John,

Same here, that's why I cycle them etc and check the readings.
In this case, the pack is performing great, the issue come from the charger  :!:
Lucky that they were holding the charge pretty well, as I was only charging them to 20% of their capacity in fact  :shock:
