RBR Fixed Load Test vs. Constant Current Test

Here are a few examples of the test results from Rechargeable Battery Review's Fixed Load Test and the Current Tests performed on the LaCrosse BC900 and the Maha MH-C9000 Wizard1 ( pulsed current).

The majority of the tests results from the LaCrosse BC900 and the Maha MH-C9000 Wizard1 fall within 5% of RBRs Fixed Load Test. It may happen that one of the LaCrosse BC900 or the Maha MH-C9000 Wizard1 might vary more than 5% of RBRs Fixed Load Test.

When both the LaCrosse BC900 and the Maha MH-C9000 Wizard1 fall beyond more than 5% of RBRs Fixed Load Test, we re-run our tests to verify our results.

Here are a few examples:

RBR FLT - Rechargeable Battery Review Fixed Load Test

LaCrosse BC900 - Discharge at 350mA = 0.14C for a 2500mAh rechargeable battery

Maha MH-C9000 Wizard1 - Pulsed Current Discharge at 500mA = 0.2C for a 2500mAh rechargeable battery

RBR diff. - represents the difference in percentage from the RBR FLT

 

The Fixed Load Test in itself is an accurate test of capacity at that tests discharge rate. Any test is as accurate as the equipment used and the conditions measured and noted.
