[Elecraft] Source of NiMH cells?

[Mark Petiford]

Correct, Matt.  I am actually running Panasonic HHR210AAB cells right now, which appear to be Enelooops with a different jacket, based on my research.  We used them in my work, but only recharged them a few times, so I was able to get them cheap, and they work well.  I have a lot of experience with Eneloop 2000 maH cells at home...probably a more severe environment than my work!  They seem to be very forgiving so long as you don't discharge them below 0.9 volts per cell.

I think early this year, we were seeing a lot of out of the box "infant mortality" with the Rayovac rechargeable NiMH cells.  Not sure if that is still a problem.

Just to be clear, there are Sanyo's Eneloops out there at retail, but
also a line of Sanyo commercial cells generally sold only as OEM
product.  I had a 14.8V pack built from the latter: 39 WH - so good
for several days of KX3 CW ops.
