I need to toss out NiMH batteries that won't hold enough charge (the
Pogo RipFlash destroys itself if the battery dies while recording).
Is there a quick way to test battery capacity?
At the moment I am resorting to a slow process
1. Put battery pair in RipFlash
2. Start recording, note the time when the first battery bar goes out.
3. Test the voltage of the batteries; label the weakest one with the
time and put the strongest one, recharged, back in the pool.
4. Take a new charged pair from the pool and repeat.
Eventually you get a set of batteries that last long enough for the
purpose, and a batteries labelled with time according to their weakness
that won't.
It's a little slow though.
Something that simply discharged the batteries and measured the
total energy or something would do better.
