[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 317894, member: 12496"] Sorry, charging is Not determining capacity. Use it as you please, but capacity is the power it can deliver at discharge, to actually power something. The replacement mah charging is always a little more than it can deliver in use. Capacity is how much it can deliver to a load. From C-9000 manual Charge Mode · Recharges the battery at the selected rate. · Useful when battery needs to be recharged [B]without determining the capacity of the battery[/B]. It should be used on batteries known to be in good condition and have been in continuous use. · Requires the least amount of time. Refresh & Analyze Mode · First recharges the battery, rest for two hours, discharges, rest, then recharges again. Charging and discharging rates are programmable. · [B]Reports the discharge capacity at the end of the cycle[/B]. · Useful when the battery capacity needs to be determined. Also useful for battery with degraded performance. · Recommended once every ten cycles for NiMH batteries. Break-In Mode (IEC capacity analysis) · Applies a 16-hour 0.1C charge (0.1 times the capacity of the battery), rest of one hour, followed by a 0.2C discharge, rest again, and finally a 16-hour 0.1C recharge again. · Recommended for brand-new batteries. This process is also known as “Forming Charge.” Also recommended with batteries that cannot be rescued by the Refresh & Analyze mode. · Recommended once every 30 cycles for NiMH batteries. · Requires 39 to 45 hours to complete. · The process follows the IEC standard for determining battery capacity. Discharge Mode · Discharges the battery at the selected rate. ·[B] Useful for analyzing the amount of charge stored in the battery[/B]. Battery not recharged at the end of the cycle. Cycle Mode · Performs a charge-discharge cycle for a programmable number of times. Charging and discharging rates are also selectable. At the end of the cycle, a final recharge is applied. · Suitable for cycling the batteries multiple times. Manual also says on last page: Note the charging capacity is usually higher than the actual capacity of the battery owing to some energy lost as heat. [B]Charging capacity cannot be used to judge the performance the battery[/B]. Instead, it can only be used to determine the progress of the charger.[B] It is normal for this number to exceed the actual capacity by as much as 20-30%[/B]. Note two things: 1. Capacity depends on the discharge rate. A low discharge rate will show higher capacity, and higher discharge rate will show lower capacity. Just how it is. 2. Note Break-In mode mentions IEC standards (charge and discharge), which is discharge at 0.2C rate, which is the standard for published capacities. 0.2C is not remotely like flash use however. :) But if you want to verify the 2300 mah rating of your Energizers, this is the procedure you have to use (to be comparable).
