hey all,
GP 3300 cells are togheter with sanyo the better cells. NOT ??
Now almost a year ago i bought some GP 850mAh AAA cells for my portable phone. In the beginning they worked just fine and +- 5~6 days on a single charge. The past 2 months the cell capacitie dropped below a 1 Day uptime or almost dead. if i count right 365/ 5 = 73 the cells never reached 100 charges. very poor i.m.o
have some of you the same experiance with GP for transmitter or receiver batteries ??
Thx Tommy

What usually kills NiCd/NiMH cells in devices like a cordless phone is over charging. The chargers are not very smart, so they just keep charging at C/10 forever. The battery can handle this for a while, but eventually they crap out. NiCd cells seem to handle it better than NiMH cells, however.

I don't think I've tried GP specifically, but I've tried lots of other different brands, NiCd and NiMH and had good results with all of them, in all sorts of applications.
To sort of make this R/C related, if you have a cycler try to put your batteries in for about five cycles -- discharge, sleep a few minutes, charge, sleep a few minutes, go again. NiMH cells don't have the same `memory' (really voltage depression) that NiCd cells do, but this might bring them back to life, at least for a while.
