hp67 82004A reserve power pack

[Vjsilva]

Warning Will Robinson *** I purchased two of those so called 3000mAh NiMH packs for HP on ebay and less than 9 months later they turned into 300mAh packs (Seller ID: sarmatius).

I attempted to contact the seller to find out what was going on and he was silent to my queries. I tried to find out what kind of cells he used in his packs.

Anyway I took matters into my own hands and completely disassembled his packs and found BTY cells inside. A quick Google search yields universally unflattering comments regarding BTY cells.

One BTY cells weigh less than half of high quality Panasonic cells. I took his packs apart and used the materials to assemble a quality pack with Panasonic Eneloops. So from his packs I was able to salvage a few cents worth of brass jumpers and contacts.

I would steer clear of this guy's packs.

Yes. But my guess is that the 3000mAh rating is overstated, it's probably closer to 2000mAh.
