in March I bought 12 batteries on Amazon at icell Limited (production date 10/2012) and have them checked immediately in my Voltcraft plus batch manager. The first two blister (8 hr) did not reach the specified capacity, they were evenly at about 1,730 mAh (+/- 20 mAh. After repeated charge / discharge cycles, the capacity increased to about 1,780 mAh (+/- 10 mAh). Then I 8St. discharged via a 12V 10W lamp, the discharge curve was exactly the Sanyo specification, ie, I was able to 80 'a discharge between 1.36 to 1.25 A achieve (= 1,727 mAh, at least 1.13 V voltage / battery. After that I have the batteries on a laboratory power supply respectively 2h fast charging (according to Spec.), a total of 2 x charge / discharge cycle. With these 8 batteries I did not come over almost 1,800 mAh (Batch Manager). with the 3rd purchased blister (the batch manager has 8 loading bays) I came to the first charge / discharge cycle to the stated capacity of about 1,900 mAh. A few months ago I bought also Eneloop 8 in Conrad, all a capacity of 1,940 - 1,970 mAh exhibit (which were, however, more expensive). For me, the 100 mAh capacity (sphygmomanometers for example with emergency flashlights, etc.) are not as important, more important is the good storage behavior of batteries
