The 1.2V AAA 900 mAh Turnigy LSD NiMH batteries are Low Self Discharge NiMHs as the name suggests, meaning they do loose less of their useable capacity over time compared to traditional NiMH batteries. Turnigy is a brand of one of the largest online RC model stores, namely Hobby King, so these batteries are often used for radio controlled models – for powering transmitters, receivers and even smaller scale models. The price of the Turnigy LSD NiMH batteries is more attractive compared to other similar products, but what about their performance, we are going to find out exactly that now.

We have started the test of the 1.2V AAA 900 mAh Turnigy LSD NiMH batteries as we normally do with a low constant current discharge rate of 0.1A and getting 1068 mAh as a useable capacity is really a good result with significantly higher capacity than what the batteries are rated. In fact the performance of the 900 mAh Turnigy LSD is very close to the one provided by the 950 mAh Powerex Imedion LSD NiMH batteries that we’ve tested recently that also performed great. Increasing the load we test at and we still got great performance out of the Turnigy batteries, so they are great and affordable solution and the only problem is that you can only order these online from some of Hobby King’s warehouses in different countries.

The performance of the 1.2V AAA 900 mAh Turnigy LSD NiMH batteries in our tests:

– 1068 mAh at 0.1A load
– 988 mAh at 0.2A load
– 909 mAh at 0.5A load
– 836 mAh at 1.0A load

– 1.318 Wh at 0.1A load
– 1.203 Wh at 0.2A load
– 1.076 Wh at 0.5A load
– 0.948 Wh at 1.0A load

1.6V AA 1500 mAh Turnigy Rechargeable NiZn Battery Tests

The 1.6V AA 1500 mAh Turnigy Rechargeable NiZn batteries are pretty much like all other Chinese NiZn batteries being sold out there, these are just made for the Hobby King’s Turnigy brand and offer the standard 1500 mAh capacity. We’ve already discussed the NiZn rechargeable batteries in more detail, so now we are just going to focus on their performance. Just a bit of warning – do not try to charge NiZn batteries in normal NiMH chargers and be careful when using them in various devices as some electronics might not be able to handle the slightly higher voltage of these batteries even when compared to Alkaline’s nominal voltage, let alone the even lower NiHM nominal voltage.

We have started the test of the 1.6V AA 1500 mAh Turnigy Rechargeable NiZn batteries as we normally do with a low constant current discharge rate of 0.2A and the result we got was 1583 mAh as capacity or a bit over the rating ofthe batteries of 1500 mAh. So a very good start for the Turnigy NiZn batteries at a lower load, and going at 0.5A and 1.0A constant current load they still manage to perform great with useable capacity a bit below 1500 mAh. Even at the very high current load of 2.0A the 1.6V AA 1500 mAh Turnigy Rechargeable NiZn batteries manage to provide you with almost 1400 mAh useable capacity and that is a great result. In the end we can say that the Turnigy Rechargeable NiZn batteries do perform very well and have pleasantly surprised us with their results, so if you need NiZn batteries you might want to check the Turnigy ones, especially considering the good price.

The performance of the1.6V AA 1500 mAh Turnigy Rechargeable NiZn batteries in our tests:

– 1583 mAh at 0.2A load
– 1463 mAh at 0.5A load
– 1447 mAh at 1.0A load
– 1397 mAh at 2.0A load

– 2.603 Wh at 0.2A load
– 2.350 Wh at 0.5A load
– 2.276 Wh at 1.0A load
– 2.080 Wh at 2.0A load
