[Elecraft] Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA Penlight Cells 9x

[Phil Townsend]

News from Corry at The Energizer Tech dept.

He said it is VERY rare to find a discharged battery. He said he has heard of 2 since the were introduced. He also said that the average voltage should be around 1.6 volts no load.
The voltage of 1.39 was very rare indeed. He further stated that all batteries are tested before that are packaged.
He further asked me if I would ship him the bad cell… I will do.

Seems like the non-rechargables are a lousy deal… 15 bucks or so for 8 cells.
The best part about these cells is the very long storage and they will believer current at a very wide range of temps.

If ...I buy them again I will certainly test each cell before installing them.
Lesson learned.
