Alright, what are we talking about here?
When I say I tested using a charge rate of 1A, my results were based on such...I concede that I should be clearer that charging at 1A on such small capacity batteries isn't going to produce the maximum capacity because it's aggressive, but as I said I didn't feel like sitting around for HOURS to test several batteries.
"Tell who ever 'measured' that charge current they need a new meter, or learn how to use it :lol:"
Here's a thought, how about along with your snide remarks, perhaps you also include the PROPER way to test?
I was the one who measured the charge current. My method was to put my DMM leads on the charge prongs (to close the circuit) and read the output from there. My belief for testing the output from there is that if there was any current filtering from the PCB (in the TX) then testing at the charge prongs (with no load) should show the proper current that was being pushed to the car battery. I considered putting the car on the charger first, then reading the output but I thought the output of the battery would interfere with the reading.
Obviously your 300mA findings are in contradiction. I'd like to know your 'proper' way to test then.
"Your results might be consistent, but they aren't really measuring runtime are they? They're measuring the cells pain threshold..."
Actually, I'd say my test did BOTH. As I've said I didn't feel like sitting there forever waiting for the full/proper charge, so my C20 charge rate shows what these batteries are capable of (as far as 'pain threshold') and what you can expect to see as far as runtime because of it.
I've always had respect for what you've had to say OTP (still do), but I'd appreciate that if you're going to take the stance of 'knocking me down' or belittling my findings, that you at least do so AND give the PROPER info (or share your own findings). The work that I've put in, in hopes of bettering the hobby, has been to HELP people, not to make myself look like an omniscient guru...So I've got no problem with taking criticism if my work needs fixing, but if all you've got is criticism (and little to no info on how to do it right) than I'd rather you didn't respond at all.
