1.5V AA Fujicell Alkaline Battery Tests
11, Dec 2013
The 1.5V AA Fujicell Alkaline batteries we test here are the standard and only Alkaline batteries that the company makes. We have already tested a few batteries from the brand and we’ve seen an average to above average performance, but this is normal considering that the batteries made by Fujicell are available at quite attractive price and price/performance wise they tend to be a good deal in general. The batteries we tested here were with an expiration date of 06-2019.
Time for the tests to start for the 1.5V AA Fujicell Alkaline batteries begining with a low constant current discharge rate of 0.1A and the result we got was 1988 mAh as capacity. A good result, but far from the best we’ve seen from other brands, and going for 0.2A we still get an average performance and good capacity. Increasing the constant current discharge load however to 0.5A and 1.0A shows that these batteries do not handle that well higher loads, so they are suitable mostly for low to moderate load applications. The results we’ve seen here confirm our expectations about good price/performance ratio and average to above average results in terms of capacity for Fujicell’s batteries.
The performance of the 1.5V AA Fujicell Alkaline batteries in our tests:
– 1988 mAh at 0.1A load
– 1640 mAh at 0.2A load
– 785 mAh at 0.5A load
– 225 mAh at 1.0A load
– 2.395 Wh at 0.1A load
– 1.949 Wh at 0.2A load
– 0.896 Wh at 0.5A load
– 0.246 Wh at 1.0A load
1.5V AA AgfaPhoto Alkaline Power Battery Tests
8, Dec 2013
The 1.5V AA AgfaPhoto Alkaline Power batteries are from a German brand associated with Photography, though the batteries produced under that brand are a licensed product, nevertheless we are interested to see how well they will perform in our tests. According to AgfaPhoto their Alkaline batteries are supposed to offer long-lasting dependable power to thirsty everyday devices such as toys, torches, electronic games and more. The batteries we got for testing here were with an expiration date of 01-2016, so they are probably not so fresh with a possible shelf life of about 4-5 years as couldn’t find exact data about this.
Time for the tests to start for the 1.5V AA AgfaPhoto Alkaline Power batteries beginning with a low constant current discharge rate of 0.1A and the result we got was 2441 mAh as capacity is actually quite impressive considering that the batteries have probably been produced close to two years ago or possibly more even close to three years ago. This result is better than that of a more recently produced Duracell Copper Top battery and places the AgfaPhoto in about the middle of out Top 10 AA Alkaline batteries for load load applications. Thought the capacity we are getting from the batteries with increased loads is not that serious, probably due to the fact that they were not so freshly produced. Anyway, we are seeing really promising results here from the AgfaPhoto batteries and we are going to look for a newer production to repeat the test and see if we are going to get better results, but even with these batteries we still get quite good results in terms of usable capacity both for lower and higher load applications.
The performance of the 1.5V AA AgfaPhoto Alkaline Power batteries in our tests:
– 2441 mAh at 0.1A load
– 1753 mAh at 0.2A load
– 1024 mAh at 0.5A load
– 419 mAh at 1.0A load
– 2.995 Wh at 0.1A load
– 2.079 Wh at 0.2A load
– 1.166 Wh at 0.5A load
– 0.459 Wh at 1.0A load
1.5V AA Philips PowerLife Alkaline Tests
5, Dec 2013
The 1.5V AA Philips PowerLife Alkaline batteries are the first batteries from the company that we are testing, so we were quite interested to get a look at how they perform compared to others as Philips is a well known name in the consumer market. The batteries were with an expiration date of 04-2016 and the manufacturer’s quoted shelf life for these batteries is 5 years, meaning that they were produced in 2011, so the capacity we get could be slightly lower than that of fresher batteries that were produced at a later date.
We have started the test of the 1.5V AA Philips PowerLife Alkaline batteries as we normally do with a low constant current discharge rate of 0.1A and the result we got was 1986 mAh as capacity. Good level of performance that continues at 0.2A load, but the available capacity under higher loads as 0.5A and 1.0A is not that good, though these batteries still manage to perform decently. Apparently these Philips Alkaline batteries are intended mostly for applications not requiring too much power, and though they manage to provide some capacity in applications requiring more power, this is definitely not their strength.
The performance of the 1.5V AA Philips PowerLife Alkaline batteries in our tests:
– 1986 mAh at 0.1A load
– 1622 mAh at 0.2A load
– 563 mAh at 0.5A load
– 236 mAh at 1.0A load
– 2.425 Wh at 0.1A load
– 1.884 Wh at 0.2A load
– 0.650 Wh at 0.5A load
– 0.257 Wh at 1.0A load
