Review: Inexpensive and delivers the rated capacity - I purchased this product ( Tenergy Centura C Size Low Self-Discharge LSD NiMH Rechargeable Batteries ), because I wanted to use them in my Mr. Beams MB 980 Motion-Sensing LED Ceiling Light . Previously I have had good experiences with Tenergy Centura AA and AAA cells, which is why I decided to try those C cells in the same series. Those Tenergy C cells are advertised to have a capacity of 4000mAh. Most name-brand rechargeable C cells in the US market have capacity similar to that of a typical AA cell. For example, the Energizer NH35BP2 C cells are rated for 2500mAh only. Higher-capacity C cells are available, but usually at a much higher cost. For example, the Maha IMEDION C cells are rated for 5000mAh, but cost nearly 3x as much as those Tenergy cells. I have tested a pair of Tenergy Centura C cells, using my rigged-up Maha MH-C9000 AA/AAA Battery Charger . Here are my findings: - Right out the package, the average remaining charge capacity is 976mAh, or just 24% of the rate capacity of 4000mAh. - After one charge/discharge cycle, the average capacity improved to 3832mAh. - After another charge/discharge cycle, the average capacity moved slightly to 3848mAh. The spread between two cells is very tight at just 40mAh. The above behavior is very similar to that of other pre-charged batteries I have tested, such as the Sanyo eneloop AA . In contrast, ordinary NiMH cells will take many more cycles to reach its final capacity. Therefore I'm satisfied that those Tenergy cells are indeed low-self-discharge type. The fact that they arrived with only 24% charge could be because they were only partically charged in the factory, just like the case for Sanyo eneloop. Bottom Line: My measured capacity number is about 96% that of the rated capacity of 4000mAh, which is well within the measurement error of my setup. So far I'm satisfied with Tenergy's capacity rating and its 'low-self-discharge' claim. As of this writing, the Tenergy Centurs is priced the lowest among all higher-capacity C cells I can find. That makes it a great value. A note about charger: Most low-cost charger (for example, the Rayovac Platinum AA/AAA/C/D/9V Universal Battery Charger ) can't fully recharge NiMH cells greater than 3000mAh, even though they accept C and D cells. You'll need a charger that specificaly says it can handle high-capacity cells, such as the Tenergy Advanced Universal Charger TN190 . [Update on Dec 20, 2014] After two years, the four Tenergy Centura C batteries are still working just fine in my Mr. Beams Ceiling Light. I only need to recharge them once every 3-4 months, depending on the season.
Review: Awesome capacity C-Cells that keep their charge! - Got these for use in a battery-powered solar bug-zapper. The device came with Ni-Cd cells, but with the batteries going through either a partial or a full charge-discharge cycle on a daily basis, I thought those would soon die. With these cells, I gave them a good refresh (discharge + recharge) twice, and replaced the cheap Ni-Cd cells. These are much better! The blue light from the zapper is still on when I go to bed. These have great capacity, and really do hold their charge over time. I also have another set in an LED snake/work light. They are dependable enough to have replaced alkaline C's, and allow me to recharge after a moderate use, to be sure I always have the full runtime for a job or if the power goes out. I charge them in my Powerex MH-C808M, and give them a refresh after a couple recharges, or if they have been dormant for awhile, to keep them fresh. These are most comparable to Sanyo Eneloop in terms of low-discharge (though not quite as good), but have a gigantic capacity. These are worth the expense if your need is for low self-discharge, large capacity, durability, useful lifespan, and reliability.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: If i don't care about my battery lasting for 1 year and i always use them constantly in my flameless candles, does it matter if i get lsd vs regular?**
A: The LSD feature is only beneficial if you're storing the batteries over long periods of time. I have both types of batteries and, like you, have a lot of flameless candles. I've found that putting the LSD batteries in one luminara candle, and the non LSD in another candle of the same type makes no difference. They both discharge at the same rate.

**Q: Where are these made?**
A: These are made in China.  I have been using them for a year, quality and performance are acceptable.  I prefer the "Centura" rather than the "Premium", longer life between charges.   For AA and AAA, use Eneloop, they are the best on the market (Japan).  Had to go with Tenergy for C and D cells since eneloop does not sell the larger sizes here.

**Q: What is the measured Voltage of these cells?**
A: The measured volt is 1.2 Volts. The discharge curve is different from a 1.5 volt battery, however. When fully charged, they will measure about 1.4 volts, and shortly will drop to 1.2 volts during use. The discharge curve will then flatten out at 1.2 volts and will very slowly drop until about 1.1 volts is reached, then will hit a steep knee bend and drop virtually straight down at about 1.0-0.9 volts.

**Q: Do I need a Tenergy charger to charge these or can I use my current NiMh (Westinghouse) charger?**
A: You don't need a Tenergy charger to charge these batteries. In fact, there are many chargers out there that are of better quality than the Tenergy charger. I don't know anything specific about your Westinghouse charger. But if it is a good quality smart charger that charges the batteries on independent channels, it should work fine.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still going strong
*by M***E on March 23, 2013*

Lucky me, I got the defective batch as I ordered 2 of the cards and one of four batteries (Recommended by NLee he Engineer) will not charge when the other three are charging in my two month old Tenergy Advanced Universal Charger TN190-4 Channel AA/AAA/C/D/9V Ni-MH Charger with LCD Display and USB Power Outlet that was also recommended by NLee the Engineer- even if I change its charging location. The only way is to charge it alone and even then it does not fully charge. Buyer beware as I am not the only consumer who took a chance on the Tenergy instead of getting Maha PowerEx MHRCI2 "C" 5000 mAh IMEDION "Ready When You Are." Rechargeable Batteries (2-Pack) to get the job done. If you are able and willing to gamble on possibly getting a defect in order to save some money, then this is your item. Personally I needed a dozen more of the C cells for my home and am planning to save up for something else. Best of luck to all. Update Thanksgiving 2013: I have had these for several months now and the defective one has seemed to fix itself and charges with the other 3 at the same time. As a result, I increased my rating from 2 to 4 stars. I will be getting another 4 Tenergy batteries soon to power another hallway light for better visibility at night. Happy Thanksgiving!!
