Tests and reviews of different batteries to help you find the Right One…
The 1.2V AA 2100 mAh Fujicell NiMH batteries are the NiMH model from Fujicell with lower capacity as we’ve already tested their 2800 mAh NiMH that ended up more like 2500 mAh. So far the results we’ve seen from Fujicell batteries are very good in terms of available capacity for the price these batteries are being sold at. Not the highest possible capacity and usually a bit lower than the NiHM rating, though they are probably stating the typical and no minimal capacity is mentioned anywhere, but these batteries are available at a better price than most other similar products. Now we are going to test the 2100 mAh NiMH model from Fujicell to see what it can deliver, note that the 2100 mAh rating is probably the typical and the minimum capacity is probably 2000 mah, though it is not mentioned specifically.
Starting the tests of the 1.2V AA 2100 mAh Fujicell NiMH batteries with a low constant current discharge rate of 0.2A got us 2025 mAh as useable capacity and that is not bad, though a bit short from the stated (typical?) rating and acceptable if the battery is indeed a 2000 mAh minimum rating as we suspect. Going for higher load we are still getting pretty good performance in terms of useable capacity out of these batteries. It is interesting to see how the discharge curves for the voltage drop are kind of “grouped” – for the lower and higher current loads we are using for testing.
The performance of the 1.2V AA 2100 mAh Fujicell NiMH batteries in our tests:
– 2025 mAh at 0.2A load
– 1870 mAh at 0.5A load
– 1613 mAh at 1.0A load
– 1384 mAh at 2.0A load
– 2.456 Wh at 0.2A load
– 2.237 Wh at 0.5A load
– 1.725 Wh at 1.0A load
– 1.458 Wh at 2.0A load

What would be the best battery that would give a 2.4 ghz hobby grade RC remote control (traxxas tqi) the best range and reliability. rechargeable NiMH or alkaline, is there a particular brand you would recommend? I have an RC boat and am a bit worried of losing connection if I go too far from shore, having said that most people say that the range of traxxas remotes is such that you lose sight of your car/boat/quadrocopter before you lose connection, but in my boat i need reliability too, I guess so i don’t have to worry that I have to take a swim 😀 link to my boat (traxxas spartan).
