![]() You might also remember that we did a dedicated video playback test with the Galaxy S – it endured nearly 7 hours and a half straight before its battery level dropped below the critical 10 percent. The numbers are pretty impressive indeed and even if they fall slightly short of the ones achieved by the Samsung S8500 Wave, the battery life of the Galaxy S shouldn’t be something to worry about. You should also keep in mind that the Galaxy S was hooked to a 3G network at all times so stand-by also took its toll on the battery. It didn’t manage to beat the S8500 Wave but the Samsung I9000 Galaxy S certainly managed to push a lot of work on a single charge. Those SuperAMOLED smartphones can certainly take quite a lot of abuse before their batteries die. I think not too long ago, IPhone 5S had the most practical and sensible screen size in the market.(according to Apple & Apple Fanboys). ![]() ![]() We measure battery life by running a custom web-script, designed to replicate the power consumption of typical real-life usage.ĬonclusionWith Samsung being credited with the popularization of the phablet form factor, it comes as no surprise that most consumers expect these to be super functional pieces of hardware, filled to the brim with extras and perks. I use Eneloops on wireless Xbox controllers and have no issues.Like in the Samsung Galaxy S II (NFC Version) the NFC antenna in attached to the battery of the device (unlike the Nexus S in the back cover).Ĭall qualityWe sure would have appreciated a small boost in earpiece volume with both, but otherwise we're looking at two stellar performers. I think you need to dump those non-Eneloop old batteries and get NiMH batteries with low self discharge. * Is there some way to test battery capacity on VC4 to see if these are worth keeping? If any are obvious to toss, let me know. ![]() I will post a related question in the Chargers thread. Which of these batteries are worth keeping and which should I dump? Ignition enercell 23-747 850 mAh (quantity=6) RadioShack HR6 2500 mAh (quantity = 12, brand new purchased this week)ġ.2V AAA Batteries (5+ years old, rarely used) Ignition enercell 23-746 2500 mAh (quantity=3) Wondering if I can test capacity and see if worth keeping? Sanyo eneloop 1900 mAh (quantity=6) (*Update: Model HR-3UTGA) ChibiM in 2013 said these keep 75% capacity after 3 years. Most of these batteries were purchased 3-6 years ago and after being used a few times have sat in my desk for many years. Here is a list of various batteries and chargers I have tried over the years. Also, if they sit too long they seem to lose power fairly quickly. My past experience with NiMH is that they hold their charges for a short amount of time. Once a good NiMH battery is charged, how long can it sit on the shelf unused before it needs to be re-topped off? I am wondering if some of the same issues with Li-Ion batteries also holds true for NiMH? With this in mind I want to see if there is a better solution for rechargeable AA and AAA batteries.ĭo NiMH batteries go bad if they sit for a few years and are never charged? I have in the past tried to use NiMH batteries for things like my son’s Xbox controllers with limited success. I’m a relatively new member who thanks to recommendations on a different thread about Li-Ion batteries is now the owner of an XTAR VP4 along with genuine Panasonic 3400 mAh NCR18650B batteries.
