Review on 🔋 Maglite ARXX235 6V NiMH Battery Pack for Mag Charger by Rene Putman

EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT USING THIS BATTERY - The OEM battery is always manufactured by Intec. This is a very good battery made to a high standard. The 5-digit code printed on the battery shows: the first digit is always "I” (Intec), the 2nd and 3rd digits are the week of the year the battery was manufactured; The 4th and 5th digits are the year of manufacture of the battery. For example, "I4914" would mean it was manufactured by Intec (for Maglite) between November 30th and December 6th, 2014. draw current 1 amp for 3.5 hours, but in the real world the results are more common at 2 hours 55 minutes). (2) ALWAYS charge a new battery within 24 hours to reach full saturation. If possible, put the date of first service on the battery with a marker or label.(3) NiMH has a self-discharge rate of 20% per month when not in use. If the battery is not stored on a continuous charger, it should be recharged every 3 weeks at the latest. (4) NEVER charge a hot battery. Always allow 2 hours for the battery to cool down and stabilize if it has been used to the point where it gets warm. (5) The maximum number of discharge-charge cycles of NiMH is about 500 times (depending on many factors). (6) Each NiMH battery The battery has a nominal voltage of 1.2 volts (5 semi-circular cells in this stick equal 6 volts). (7) The end-of-discharge voltage should not fall below 5.0 volts (16.6666667% undervoltage) for optimal battery life. ( 8) * Batteries work best at 80 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature is higher, the voltage decreases; If the temperature is lower, the current will decrease. (9) Most batteries charge optimally in an ambient temperature of 61.7 degrees Fahrenheit (59 to 64.4 degrees Fahrenheit). The slower you charge the battery, the better for it. (10) Heat destroys batteries. Don't let them fry/bake in a hot car (including you, LEO). (11) Always keep this battery in the MagCharger to charge when not in use. Open the flashlight once a month and visually and electrically check the battery baton. Electrically, this new, fully charged NiMH battery pack should read 7.0 volts (16.6666667% overvoltage) straight from the charger. If it is allowed to stabilize for more than 2 hours it should read around 6.75 volts. (12) Never drop or hit a battery baton or flashlight; The core of the battery cell(s) may rupture, resulting in leakage and/or destruction of the battery and flashlight. (13) If you intend not to use the flashlight for more than 1 month, fully charge the battery and then remove it. and store it in a cool, dry place (it's well in its original packaging). You still need to pick it up and charge it every 3 weeks. (14) NEVER leave a MagCharger flashlight in a charging station when the power supply is disconnected/not operating; This will eventually drain the battery and destroy it to the point where it will leak and ruin the flashlight. (15) Maglite MagCharger flashlight systems are backed by a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser, excluding abuse of course. The ONLY things not covered are the bulb, the battery (after 1 year) and if you have a battery leak that interferes with the flashlight (you should look out for that). This battery is used in a professional flashlight, and like a flashlight, the battery is not cheap. With proper care, this battery stick should last at least a few years (approx. 3 to 5 years), but can last up to 10 years under laboratory conditions. 71% / 100 degrees F. = 50% Current efficiency: 80 degrees. F = 100% / 70 degrees F = 95% / 60 degrees F = 89% / 50 degrees F = 82% / 40 degrees F = 74% / 30 degrees F = 67% / 20 degrees F = 58 % / 10 degrees Fahrenheit = 50%
