They are alive!
or at least they finally peaked. So here is just a recap of what I did.
First discharged at .1a. This happened fast, less than an hour if I remember right.
Then charged at .1a. This lasted ~30 hours and never peaked. I gave up waiting for it to peak.
Discharged at .2a. This took about 4 hours.
Charged at .1 amp. After 24hours, they finally peaked.
Now the real test would be to see how long they last. Is just leaving my radio on a good enough test, or do I actually have to use the radio? Right now my radio is on and sitting at 10.6v. How long "should" 2000mah AA last in an xs3?
Thanks for all the help.
