I then took some measurements of my known-good batteries, and the new ones I bought. The methodology was the following: I connected the battery to the sensor, and the sensor to a configurable load. I set the load to draw a certain amount of amps until it reached a cutoff voltage, and then to stop. I then plotted mAh drawn versus voltage, as well as amps drawn. @@ -31,6 +31,6 @@ The performance falls off a cliff after around 3.6V, and it only outputs 1600 mA * * *
