> What is going on with these packs? (Steve Gibson) I've had both new and long unused batteries do this, it was so consistent that I thought that my cycler had got out of calibration. After one or two cycles with the batteries showing well below rated capacity I ran one full charge with a peak charger. That got them back close to their rated capacity and they are now holding this when cycled using slow charger.
I'm using an "Accucycle" for discharge/slow charge and a "Summit" peak charger. This behaviour is consistent with what I understand of battery chemistry. > Should I expect to get more than 900 mAh from a new 1100 mAh pack? I don't believe labels on batteries, they're just an approximate guide. I go by what I measure. Martin Usher RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
