Rechargeable Ni-Mh batteries on eBay

Hi,

I bought some of these on eBay, but they are no good, will not hold a charge after only 10 or so recharges on a good quality charger.

Out of consideration for IIS, I'll post no names and addresses, but if you want to know what type not to buy on eBay, PM me.

Cheers

If anyone is interested in rechargeables and some nifty chargers you cant go past Protog.

The chargers are sophisticated, they have charge, analyse, refresh and break in and and very reasonably priced.

Protog also have batteries that are excellent quality, of you're like me and use NiMh batteries infrequently then Sanyo Eneloops or equivalent have a low self discharge. I bought this model and it's fantastic, I analysed some old nicads rated at 2000mah and they were only storing around 800mah, the recycle option brought them back to around 1500mah.

I have no affiliation with the company.
