      Yes, NiMH is rechargeable.

        not only are they just rechargeable, they are "LSD" Low Self Discharge which most rechargeable batterys arent. and having bought and used these before they are defiantly worth buying and in my experience (even compared to the "famous" eneloops which i also own) they are the best battery on the market.

    I like these batteries and they are a fantastic price.But to be honest this is a regular price (when they are actually available) so there really isn't much of a bargain here.

      its more a bargain in the fact that they are available..

      thought it would be a decent 'heads up' on their price and availability as they are usually on backorder

      I've had mind sitting there on back order for several weeks so I'm happy they are available because them and the AAA's i ordered will finally ship

          Agreed, the AA's in particular sell out really fast at Hobbyking…a heads-up is the battery equivalent of one bear telling another that the salmon are running! :)

      The number of "cycles" is tested according to what standard? By convention it seems that after that many cycles the battery capacity is 50%. But some manufacturers may use a different threshold, plus the life will vary depending on how hard the battery has been used and charged (charging and discharging current). If you look on the candlepower forums and elsewhere you will see that these Turnigy generally get good reviews.

    NiMH is rechareable and LSD means Low Self Discharge. These batteries have great review but I am now loaded with 160 glitter eneloops that will lasts me until the next best things to come out.

    Where does the order ship from now? I see they advertise that they have a warehouse in NSW and that shipping is from $8.99.

    Or are you guys still ordering from the US?

        Actually i use these in my sons RC car radio, I find they last longer than eneloops. Not to mention cheaper as well. Turnigy make all kinds of batteries including big LiPo's.

          ditto, capacity testing on my intelligent charger not only do the turnigy's show a higher capacity than "advertised" but higher than my eneloops.

        Blackrose on 05/08/2012 - 13:07

        The AAA's I bought(older gen) all tested above the rated capacity of 800mAH, all tested to be between 830-840mAH in a La-Crosse BC-700, the newer AAA's are rated at 900mAH I don't have any of those.

        IVI on 05/08/2012 - 14:29

        I get Sanyo AA's - rated at 2,700 MAh - for about Au$ 48 / 16 cells. With the Aussie $ at current high values, this is a good time to import either type.

        I don't know if Sanyo's are LSD's… anybody know?

        The Au$ 48 -includes- shipping, from some eBay vendor.

        Other vendors have Sony 2,700 MAh AA's for about the same price (maybe $1 or $2 more).

          "I don't know if Sanyo's are LSD's… anybody know?"

          if you don't know whether they are LSD then your comparison is useless..

          and 16 of these would cost $40.44 (cheaper per battery if you add a few more as there is still weight left in the shipping cap)

          So these are cheaper and very well reviewed…

        From the hobby king page:
        "We guarantee our cells are true to their capacity!
        Sadly battery marketing is an evil game, with overstated capacity being the industry norm. Generally speaking, battery factories will suggest vendors to overstate the capacity by at least 30%, marking 1800mAh cells with 2300mAh labels or more!
        While this might work for toy stores, such marketing tactics wouldnt survive 1 week in our store with customer feedbacks and reviews, and thats why we guarantee our TURNIGY 2400mAh NiMH cells to be at least 2400mAh!"

        Check the comments from hobby king users (and on whirlpool) these do test to at least their rated capacity.

      You must have put 20 or more in the cart. I usually buy planes or boats from 'The King' and they tell you how many grams is left before the shipping prices go up. So I order what ever fits for effectively 'free shipping'. Sometimes I only get 2or 3 before shipping goes up, other times more, but I usually fill a hobbyking order to the gram.

    It is normal price but ALL hobbyking prices are so cheap it's like always on sale. I mean I can find gear they sell cheaper elsewhere. I've spent thousand$ over the past few years at hobbyking - including many orders of the LSDs and I reckon every purchase has been an out and out bargain.

    After all the frigging about you do with rechargable batteries are they really cheaper?

    I've had 3 DSE glitter AAs, never used before, on my La Crosse charger for maybe 40 freakin' hours, discharging, charging, refreshing and testing, trying to work out why the mah figures are completely screwy … and I'm still no nearer an answer than when I started.

      trying to work out why the mah figures are completely screwy

      You should post a few of those figures dude, there are some guys here who are quite knowledgeable on the topic of charging tech, I'm sure someone can point you in the right direction! ;)

        yes sorry.. the fanboi failboat sailed away days ago…. we all understand your not quite able to see past your "flaw" but please keep your opinions to yourself.

        im happy to again test these batteries to show they are well over there advertised rating….. im also happy to test any other battery and give there ratings if you want a comparison

        as i have said many times before… these are quite simply the best bang for buck battery on the market….. im happy for you to challenge that with proven facts rather than just an opinion :D
