Customer Reviews

EDIT 12/7/2011 They currently have an 8-pack of these batteries for a few dollars less costly - Moonrays Rechargeable NiCd AA Batteries for Solar Powered Units, eight-Pack
original assessment
When I purchased my CCI Moonrays 95669 Solar Powered Metal Path Light, six-Pack, Copper I decided from the beginning to switch out batteries in half of the lamps with the other battery kinds since I had read the other evaluation for this battery pack.
Honestly, I discovered these perform improved via the night more than a longer period of time. Sometimes I wake up exceptionally early in the morning for operate, and have noticed that the lamps with these batteries have lasted longer and brighter into the morning. It has been a couple months considering that i got the lamps and will certainly purchase these batteries again.
I decided to do a tiny research on Wikipedia to find the purpose.
These Moonrays batteries are Nicd, on the page it says "The main trade-off with NiCd batteries is their greater price"
But the advantage it says is
"the NiCd battery has a lower self-discharge rate (for example, 10% per month for a NiCd, versus 30% per month for a traditional NiMH under identical conditions"
that signifies that over time, these batteries will hold their charge longer than other people.
The other variety of rechargeable batteries are the NiMH batteries, and their page also says
"NiMH cells historically had a somewhat greater self-discharge rate (equivalent to internal leakage) than NiCd cells. This is not a dilemma in the short term, but makes them unsuitable for a lot of light-duty makes use of where the battery would ordinarily be expected to final a large number of months or years."
Wow I'm a nerd. But it makes me pleased

There is simply no cause why everyone should order those NiCd (Nickel Cadmium) rechargeable cells for solar rechargeable light applications. For about the same price tag, you can very easily come across NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) cells which provide the following positive aspects:
- Larger capacity: NiMH AA cells are ordinarily 2000-2700mAh, compared of just 600mAh for those NiCd cells.
- No memory effect: NiMH cells are less likely to suffer from lowered capacity when they are partially charged and discharged.
- Environmentally Friendly: NiMH cells do not include Cadmium, a extremely toxic heavy metal. Expired NiCd cells ought to be disposed in special battery recycle bins, but most persons don't bother to do that. So those cells end up buried in landfill or, worse yet, incinerated. ()
The only advantage NiCd cell has more than NiMH is lower internal resistance, which will allow it to provide very high peak present in short bursts. That's why NiCd cells are still utilized in cordless energy tools and RC race vehicles. But in the case of solar rechargeable lights, the battery current is delievered slowly more than eight-12 hours. So NiMH cells, with significantly higher capacity, are far superior as replacement batteries.
()UPDATE:
As of Sep 2008, imports of NiCd rechargeable batteries had been banned for all EU countries (thanks to a 2006 Battery Directive). Prices of NiCd cells plummeted as a result. It is sad to see that the U.S. is now becoming made use of as the biggest dumping ground (literally) for those outdated items.
[Update2 on Nov 29, 2010]
Some many people claim that NiMH cell can not be put to use in Solar charger for the reason that it requirements greater voltage to recharge. This is Totally FALSE based on my personal measured data, shown in the Buyer Images section. Note that both NiCd and NiMH cells have almost identical voltage profiles (adjusted for time scale) in the course of slow-charging.
