Re: AA NiMH batteries, input on brands
Hi Mike, I've bought Tenergy Li-ion cells and measured their capacity to be close to the claimed capacity.? I've had reasonable success with EBL NiMh cells, but the AAAs I bought were far short of

Gary, Great to know!? Were the flat top style like the one in the link or the button top?

Re: AA NiMH batteries, input on brands
Dale, Thanks for replying. I have ran across positive reviews and comments on the LADDA batteries, here and there.? Are you getting a good charge/discharge life from them?

Re: AA NiMH batteries, input on brands
John, I would have to say Eneloop is the most recommended from the research I've done so far. Thanks for commenting, it's much appreciated. W5SKK

Re: AA NiMH batteries, input on brands
I've had such good service from Eneloop, that I've never tried anything else. Would be good to learn what other's have experienced from other brands.73KU8Q Sent from the all new AOL app for Android

Re: AA NiMH batteries, input on brands
I have Ikea LADDA 1900mAh AA's in my FBA-25, these are basically Enerloops. I haven't tried the 2450mAh versions as I read somewhere they are too large and won't fit.

Re: AA NiMH batteries, input on brands
As a data point I've used this brand in AAA size and they work great in some pretty harsh conditions.73,Gary K9GS

AA NiMH batteries, input on brands
Hello all, I ran across some AA NiMH batteries made by Tenergy, I have never heard of the brand personally and was wondering if anyone here has used them before.? For the most part I have found

Re: Battery FNB-83 Different voltage readings
Just did a fresh charge. Getting 8.6v @ the battery tab that go to radio & 7.9 on the charge tabs, looks like all is working well. The battery was completely discharged yesterday, had been sitting

Re: Battery FNB-83 Different voltage readings
Looking at the rear of the FNB-83 there are 3 terminals, from the left going to the right they are as follows. Positive (Through Diode) | Negative | Temperature sensor If you measure using the

Re: Battery FNB-83 Different voltage readings
Dave, I am getting a reading of 3.75v across the charging gold colored tabs, when battery display voltage is around 8v. On a full charge the reading are around 7.75v across the 3 charging tabs on the

Re: Battery FNB-83 Different voltage readings
Because even diodes have some internal resistance.? Absolutely minimal forward and a total block in reverse.? But yes, the voltage drop through a diode is enough to give the difference shown on the

Re: Battery FNB-83 Different voltage readings
I get the low voltages across both terminals.

Finally got it, went back to the manual. I had to: 4. Press and hold in the [ V/M ( PRI )] key for one second to start scanning. Thanks KY8M

Re: Battery FNB-83 Different voltage readings
One of the terminals is temperature sensor. Possibly 10K so you will get a very low voltage reading if you measure across that terminal. [email protected]> wrote:

Re: Battery FNB-83 Different voltage readings
Well, now when the battery voltage drops to 8v on the display & I check the voltage via the 3 gold colored charging tabs I am getting about 3.75v from the the left tab to far right tab & the on the
Re: Battery FNB-83 Different voltage readings
Hi Clint, It was me who said the voltage drop is due to the diode inside the battery pack. All semiconductors have a voltage drop. A standard silicon diode is around 0.7V but can vary slightly.

Re: Battery FNB-83 Different voltage readings
Diodes allow current flow when forward biased and stop current flow when reverse biased. However, there is always a voltage drop when forward biased caused by the potential difference at the p/n
