Thanks, I hadn't heard of these. I just checked their web site and see
they claim 4X longer shelf life than conventional NiMH. That's good but
unlikely to achieve 90% at 6 months compared to any other NiMH batteries
I've had. I'm sure that any NiMH I've had (mostly Panasonic) are well
below 90% after only two weeks.
You'll give us a usage report soon I hope
