    I'm glad you didn't test the EBL's I tested yesterday. LOL Some of those Li-ion batteries did very well, I like the micro USB charging feature. I was surprised to see the voltage drop as much as it did under load. Thanks for another fantastic testing video, and the NiMH update!

    • @martinda7446
      @martinda7446 3 года назад +29

      The Li-ion AA batteries have electronics for charging and a buck for voltage..They will limit performance over a primary cell, take up space and so on. The performance limitations include voltage drop under load. This is not the cell impedance but the electronics also minimising current availability. This is guess work but I assume it is this way.

    In future battery videos, for both rechargeable and non-rechargeable, it'd be great to see a few other tests. 1) How well they perform after and/or during being exposed to heat or cold. 2) How well non-rechargeable batteries perform and how many cycles they last using specialty battery chargers designed for non-rechargeables. (Yes, those work and are safe if you follow the guidelines.) 3) How many cycles the standard rechargeable batteries last and how well they perform up till the end. And, finally, 4) How many joules can the batteries survive? For example, if there's a surge while charging or short circuit from device usage.

I don't like the batteries with full size usb port because they're more bulky. The microusb batteries can potentially be charged on the fly, which is very convenient

      I agree, and that’s something I remember liking about this channel when it was much younger. We as consumers aren’t always just chasing the highest performance, especially if an item exists in a realm where high performance isn’t a necessity for us. What we look for in these cases is how much value a product really provides us. Thanks to your channel we’ve learned manufacturers don’t always tell us the truth about the performance so we have to rely on the good testing and evaluations you do!

      I'd really like to see an in-room portable "HEPA" filter/purifier test, where protection factor (or percent filtration) of airborne particles 0.3μm in diameter is measured, as well as airflow rate.
      Also, I'd really appreciate if you could include a home made 24" 7000+ CFM rated wideblade fan, combined with a Lennox X6675 MERV 16 (95%) filter taped directly together with no obvious leaks (I believe this will be one of the most effective AND most cost effective filtration devices for Covid).
      Although we keep hoping Covid is over, for those of us with compromised health and an endless supply of Covid variants, we will likely be relying on filtration technology to keep us safe for the foreseeable future.

      @@davewolf8869 there's a lot of ignorance surrounding systems of measurement. It is often displayed by calling US Customary Imperial. Imperial didn't even come to be until 1836. The US developed our system in 1789. We borrowed names from the ancient system but that's it. We may have used a liquid measure but then the Empire adopted another measurement? I can't remember all the details myself. Then at some later date we all adopted the international inch. Which only further confuses people as to what came from where. The inch we use today is neither the old US nor Imperial one. A Swede actually made it. He made the best inches in the world so everyone beat a path to his door. Ford ultimately bought the guy and imported him to the USA. When you're as rich as Ford was you could do that sort of thing.
