Superb charge retention – 90% after 6 months, and 85% even after a year, so no need for regular charging

to aviod permanent capacity loss required by many Ni-Mh cells
Due to this the cell can be used immediately after purchase, and do not need charging first!
Much higher voltage under load, the voltage does not collapse when high currents are pulled,

which is an unwelcome characteristic of normal AA Ni-Mh cells.
Over double the cycle life of most Ni-Mh cells, over 1,000 cycles are possible!
