Powergenix 1.6v NiZn 2500mWh First Test Run

Removed from charger (8hr charge) 26 Apr

A few hours of shelf time later:

Installed 27 Apr 0110hr (showing full charge in JBL)

at the 8hr 5min of reading point dropped to three bars

at the 20hr 50min of reading point dropped to two bars

at the 21hr 18min of reading point the low battery warning appeared
[ending the test run] on 30 Apr (3 batteries test at ~1V and 1 battery
tested as dead, not moving the needle at all.)

SO; 21hr and 18min of actual use time and 3 days 7hrs 3min. of
standby time.

--------------------

I can't explain the odd results I keep getting with these batteries,
it's as if they are not able to evenly discharge in use. I am tempted
to think that they are aware of my distaste for the whole "Eco-
Friendly" concept. It may be that the "Dead" battery will charge back
up like the 0.5v "Bad" batteries did from my prior efforts, at some point
I will try the bad batteries in a separate test run.

I'll try and put together a set of 4 batteries that have never "failed"
from the remaining NiZn batteries, for a second test run, after the
second runs of the other Batteries under test.

Luck;
Ken
