North Tech Precharged NiMH Batteries - AA Menards®

Sunday, February 24, 2013

Well I bought a 4 pack of these batteries from Menards for $5.98 and so far I'm pleased with them. I had been using them for a bit and did the same test that I preformed on the Rayovac's . I used my GT Power X-Charger C6 to discharge the batteries at 1 amp down to 1 volt each and then recharged them at .5 amp and then a second discharge . The charger reported a capacity of 2262 Mah . I also used / Tested them in my RC transmitters and used them to power a few Toy grade cars and can definitely tell you that in the toy grade cars there is a noticeable improvement in power and run time Vs the Rayovac's .

I love the fact that these are precharged and ready to go like the Rayovac's I was using and have around 50% more capacity for less money . Not to say that I don't like the harbor freight batteries I tried but the fact that these just give up a little capacity for the convenience of them being precharged is what has sold me on these batteries .
