Self-Discharge: The dormant / self discharge characteristics of Pale Blue batteries are very low. Certifications: IEC 62133, CE, FCC, PSE, UN38.3, RoHS, REACH Other Safety Protections: Protects against Overload, Leakage, Short Circuit, Over Voltage, & High Temperature Overheat Protection: Operating at max output the battery will not overheat, this is part of the protection circuit. Protection Circuit: Integrated safety circuit protects battery and device Charge Time: Under 2 hours (depending on charger specifications) 1 charging cable for simultaneous charging On-Board Smart Technology Provides Safe Charging: No more batteries ruining expensive electronic devices! Built-In LED Charging Indicator: Pale Blue Batteries let you know when they are fully charged. Convenient Micro USB Charge Port: Just plug any micro USB cable or use the included cable to charge four batteries at once. Fast Charging Lithium Battery: 1000+ Charge Cycles Pale Blue batteries provide higher power and more consistent output through their use cycle.

If you're looking to invest in some lithium batteries any time soon I would check this video out first. Smartools, Maxlithium, and AmpTorrent are some of the batteries you'll have probably heard of, as well as many other brands that may be new to you. This is a great reminder that the price of an item is not always the most accurate indicator of quality. Towards the end of the test, it boiled down to one of the cheapest versus one of the most expensive brands. Todd went on to test the batteries in a "real world" environment by using handheld fans to see which would be the last one standing. Since watching Project Farm's last battery video, I have become much more skeptical about what the battery companies claim. It will probably not come as a surprise to learn that almost all of the batteries fell short of what the companies claimed they could hold. Everything from traditional chargers to various docks, to USB ports on the side of the batteries themselves.Īll the batteries were tested for capacity with an industry-standard battery tester and the results were compared to their advertised capacity. The various types of chargers also came as a surprise too. I know I have a few devices which I have to struggle with to get some brands of AA battery inside. This information brought up some interesting insights such as not all the batteries were the same size. This last point can be a deal-breaker if you plan on traveling light or don't have much space in your bag. As a bonus in this video, not only do we get the typical capacity tests, but we are also given important details such as diameter, weight, and type of charger for each battery. He also provides an update in this video to his NiMH AA battery test which has been running for the last two years.įor those who have not seen a Project Farm video before, Todd does a great job at being very methodical and fair in his testing. Thankfully for us, Project Farm over on YouTube is back to give us an answer to this question. As more and more companies enter the battery market, it can be difficult to know which brand you should carry in your camera bag. If you have no power you have no pictures. One area I would never compromise on is batteries. There are many shortcuts photographers can make when buying gear if funds are low.
