Sanyo Ni-MH 2500AA Battery!

[Canew]

Arrrgghhh! I realised that my 8 x 2500mAh SANYO batteries are also not keeping their charge. Found out from past few photo outings that my flash will not charge up to full capacity only after about 5 shots! :cry:

Batch No: 05-08-0A.

Guess that I will have to make a trip down to The Heeren.

[Canew]

Just called up Phoebe. She is the one in charge of the battery replacement now, not Heather.

Take note that one need to charge the batteries 2 days before hand in order for them to test.

It is stamped on the battery.
Anyway, I've managed to get the replacement for my 8 pcs.

 

[sehsuan]

No receipt needed. Only need to fill in a form on the spot with all the batteries serial no.

Serial number? Something like AJ537MJ532366?

You may use any charger to charge. I've discloed to them that I used the KONNOC charger for my batteries. It doesn't matter. The problem lies in the batteries.

How to check the batch number?

The batch number is printed onto the batteries itself. Mine was '05-08-OA.'

The batteries must be charged exactly 2 days before? So if I charged it on Sunday, I can only bring it down on tues?

What if I charged it 1 day before bringing it down? Is that ok?

Hi tek, no, the batteries need not to be charged exactly 2 days before bringing down. The 'range' is between 2 ~ 7 days.

So, if you charge on Sunday, then the soonest that you may bring it to Sanyo will be on Tuesday - you are right on this point. Febiv insisted that I have charged my batteries for at least 2 days before bringing it down, as they need to test the batteries. As for my case, I charged mine on Monday, brought it down to Sanyo on Thursday. (within the 2 ~ 7 days before charge timing criteria)

 

[tek]

oh ok. thanks for the clarification. guess i can only bring it down after tues. heh....

wonder if anyone knows whether the charger charges the battery individually or once one slot is full, it shuts off?

eg, slot A-D has batteries, once Slot A is full, the charger cuts off supply even though B-D may be 80% full.
or
After Slot A is full, B-D carries on charging.

It depends on the charger, whether the charger has individual circuitry for each of the batteries.

Yes, you need to call Febiv before making your trip there.
