Cell Test Report

Sanyo HR-2600

NMH cell        sub C        63grams

 
An 8-cell pack was tested.  Cells were new, and broken-in.

Data was obtained from four continuous discharges at different resistance settings.

Verdict.  Performance is well below the current best NMH cell.

In practical use, these cells have performed in-line with the test results.
