TEST INFORMATION
CONCLUSIONS:
All of the batteries exceeded the Minimum Average Duration (MAD) that was anticipated for the discharge tests. The JCB OXI and ASDA Longlife gave the best results at 210% of MAD and the Pairdeer the poorest at The Supreme Lithium exceeded the results of al of the alkaline batteries however these have a different chemical composition and are included for No leakage was recorded from any cell during testing.

The 7 types of AA batteries were subjected to a high drain discharge test using a resistive load of 3.9 Ohms applied to each battery for 1 hour in 24 until the on load battery voltage dropped below the End Voltage of 0.8V. This is intended to simulate use in a high drain The Minimum Average Duration expected under these test conditions is 4h The samples tested achieved the fol owing results: The lithium batteries would not normal y be subjected to the same test regime but were included in this test for comparison purposes at the client's request.
The load tests on batteries are not based on the current but on the value of resistance used For AA batteries a load of 10 Ohms would be used to simulate a personal music player or radio whereas a load of 3.9 Ohms would be used to simulate a motor driven toy which has approximately 2.5 times higher current drain and consequently would drain the batteries a lot The expected Minimum Average Duration or AA Alkaline batteries with a 10 Ohm resistor is 11.5hours, with a 3.9 Ohm resistor the expected MAD is 4 Hours.
