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
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
The 9V Fujicell Alkaline batteries we are testing here are proving to be interesting as we’ve seen from tests of other Fujicell batteries where they are performing quite well and considering the fact that these batteries are available at a good price you may want to consider the good models. The question here is how will the 9V Alkaline battery perform and will it be worth to consider. The battery we are testing is with an expiration date of 02-2020.
In order to test the capacity of the 9V Fujicell Alkaline batteries we are using a constant current discharge rate of 0.05A (50 miliampers) and we have managed to get 398 mAh and that is a very good results for a 9V Alkaline battery. If we compare this to the 9v Duracell Alkaline battery that we are using as a reference the Fujicell battery offers significantly higher capacity at a more affordable price, so definitely a good choice if you are in need of a 9V Alkaline battery.
The performance of the 9V Fujicell Alkaline batteries in our tests:
– 398 mAh at 0.05A load
– 2.954 Wh at 0.05A load
