5.0 out of 5 stars AccuEvolution Ultra Low Self Discharge - Size C, August 12, 2009

This review is from: Premium AccuEvolution C NiMH Precharged Low Self Discharge Rechargeable Batteries - high drain, all other use (Electronics)

I heartily agree with the earlier reviews, this IS a very impressive battery, and you have to shop for good prices. I have found excellent prices on this battery here on Amazon - simply by looking around.

A bit of caution: Size C Low Self Discharge batteries are often just a AA LSD inserted into a C shell. This is NOT the case with the AccuEvolution. The AccuEvolution C is a real battery through and through - with a capacity of 4,500 mAHs (over twice as much as a 2,200 mAH re-wrap). This is why the AccuEvolution is noticeably heavy.

Real cost: I recently came across an interesting article online that compares the actual cost per amp hour of a typical alkaline battery vs this battery. A name brand size C alkaline on sale for $0.94 is shown to cost $46.81 for 100 mill amp hours, while an AccuEvolution size C priced at $9.98 costs just $0.19 (including cost of electricity and charger) per 100 milli amp hours. This is a difference of slightly over 300%.

5.0 out of 5 stars These batteries deliver!, May 29, 2009

These batteries are absolutely amazing. Low self discharge, high capacity, and capable of super high currents. They might seem pricey, but if you have high drain devices that use C-cells, then you NEED these batteries. I make custom high-output LED flashlights and these are a perfect, safe, high-output power solution that provides always ready, high output and long runtime in four of my favorite 3*C-cell torches.

If your application fits ordinary Alkaline C-cells snugly, then these might not fit as they are a hair wider. I have also found that the ones branded AccuPower Evolution are slightly fatter than the newer ones branded AccuEvolution.

5.0 out of 5 stars I have had these for probably six months to a year, and they work great!, June 18, 2011

I bought a set of these for one of those electric canine toenail grinders, and I can say they work great! They hold a charge for a looong time, and source very good power when I use them. An electric motor is a very good test of batteries, as it is a very high current drain device. I charge them once, and leave it in the drawer until I want to use it, which is a long time in between, and when I finally go for it, it still has a good charge, and provides plenty of power...
