Does your 2700 mAh batteries significantly last longer than the 2500 mAh energizer batteries?? Or you never tested this. Anyone compared 2700 mAh with 2500 mAh and saw a big difference?
BTW...I never discharge my NiMH... I charged them when they are emtpy and also when they still have charge. I think NiCad needs discharging but NiMH doesn't mind if you charge them if they are half full. That's one of the main difference in NiCad and NiNH I think.
I bought the 2700s originally so I never did a comparison
I just assumed that they would last longer
they make 2900 now
you are right about NiCad needing full discharge
maybe I am misunderstanding about the Smart Charger
I use the slow setting and it takes 2 hours
and thought that it discharged then charged
