However, for testing non rechargeable cells like AA alkalines - use a

Why are you bringing this up?


** Cos 1 ohm load is not suitable for testing all kinds of AA cells -
alkalines for example.

Again, you have completely missed the point of my question. sigh.....

But I'll go ahead and bite anyway. How can you make that assumption?
Perhaps someone wanted to test some non-rechargeable alkalines and they were
destined for a high current application (like say powering a video
transmitter on a model rocket/plane). IOW, why do you assume a ~20 hour
discharge as the only viable test?

The thread is about rechargeable batteries.


** The thread is about a neat technique for testing cell capacity
with a clock.

NiCd chargers have been doing basically the same thing for DECADES.

See the bloody heading ??

Yes I do, it looks arguably like you are threatening my life. At any rate,
had you been able to grasp the context of the thread, you would have noticed
that the OP was only testing rechargeables. I think you purposely threw in
that tripe about alkalines to bait Charlie.

BTW there are rechargeable alkalines, so technically you weren't even
completely correct with your blanket statement about them necessarily being
"buggered".

This is SEB Phil, why can't you at least try to restrain yourself here. You
get to act an ass in plenty of other newsgroups, why can't you treat this on
like it's holy ground or something?

HAND :-)
