I do not have a certified test lab, nor do I have any financial relationship with battery manufacturers or their suppliers. In the interest of full disclosure – I am merely a hobbyist with an interest in batteries, and some test equipment. You use the data at your own risk, and no implications about its merchantability or fitness for (your intended) purpose are made. I cannot and will not be held liable for any errors, omissions in the data or consequential losses of any kind from the use of, or inability to correctly use, the provided data. As prices for cells are inherently volatile, the value for money figures are likely to change wildly depending on supplier specials and location of purchase. Value for money judgments, especially those made in the results, are based on the price at which the cells were purchased or made available to me in the period of November – December 2016. There is inherent cell-to-cell variation, which may not be adequately captured by the sample size used in this investigation. The tests do not assess any of the other qualities related to the cell, including the cell design for its resistance to leakage. Variations in delivered charge under different load conditions are expected and can result in different value to the end user. The data represents the cell performance under the test load only. I have taken measures to ensure the accuracy of the data. The information is not guaranteed to be fault-free, and is provided in good faith as being representative of the performance of cells I have acquired. The following results and data are the product of a large number of hours of investigation conducted by myself on the cells I have purchased using the gear as detailed in previous parts. If you’ve made it this far, congratulations, you’ve earned the right to read the results! If not, you could be doing yourself a big disservice and not understanding the true intricacies that underlie the subject of battery testing and the methodology which was used in testing, in which case, I strongly recommend you read the first two parts before proceeding.
