Question / Answer about NIMH batteries :Question:
How long will nimh batteries last and what's "mAH" mean?

Answer:
mAh": Stands for mili-ampere hours. It measure the capacity of the batteries. For example, a 1100mAh capacity means that the batteries will last for 1 hour if subjected to a 1100mA discharge current.

Question:
What is the difference between NiMH batteries and "rechargeable alkaline" batteries? (Energy paintball rechargeable are NIMH batteries)

Answer:
Recently the market has introduced a new type of supposedly affordable rechargeable alkaline batteries. However, they do not compare with NiMH rechargeable technology. The key difference is that rechargeable alkaline batteries can be recharged up to 50 times. NiMH cells can be recharged up to 500 times.

Question:
What do you mean by "no memory effect" on NiMH batteries?

Answer:
Memory is a type of problem that traditional NiCD batteries would develop. You probably have heard that in order to maintain the life and performance of rechargeable batteries, you have to fully drain the batteries before recharging them. Thanks to "memory free" technology featured on NiMH batteries, you can charge them anytime you wish, regardless if the batteries are fully drained or not.

Question:
Do your NiMH batteries lose any capacity during their useful life ?
Answer:
Yes they do lose some capacity, but it is normally very, very gradual. This is true with all rechargeable batteries, but some have a very high rate loss. Our Nimh batteries are designed to have a much longer cycle life than other Nimh batteries. Normally after 300 - 400 cycles, capacity will decrease 10 to 15%. Which means you still can shoot more than 10.000 cases of paint before it starts to lose any capacity.
