Tenergy Battery Review
On March 4, 2010 I received 8 Tenergy 2600 MAH rechargeable batteries and a Tenergy T6778 charger from Payson Outfitters to test for 30 days. In the last 26 days I have run them through 3 full cycles. I used them in a Foxpro Scorpion with the volume on 31 which is ¾ volume. I have been using a cheaper set of batteries and charger and have not had very good battery life.
When I received them I put them in the charger to start with a fully charged set of batteries. I first ran a set of alkaline batteries to compare battery life to. The alkaline gave me 6 hrs and 52 minutes of use from the Scorpion. My first use of the Tenergy batteries gave me 3 hrs and 42 minutes of use which concerned me. To be sure, I ran them through two more cycles to be fair. The second time I used them gave me 6 hrs and 30 minutes. The third time gave me 6 hrs and 38 minutes. This was a lot better. I have read that batteries need to be run through a couple cycles to achieve their full potential.
I am happy with the performance of the Tenergy batteries and look forward to future use with them. I feel that the batteries and charger are a great deal and well worth buying. I would like to thank Eric for the opportunity to test these. If you a looking for some good rechargeable batteries, you cant go wrong with these and would also recommend Payson Outfitters as a place to purchase them.
