IIRC, he didn't perform any long term testing. Not ideal.I encourage anyone using rechargeable batteries to watch the YouTube channel "Project Farm" on AA batteries when choosing what battery brand to buy. The results are somewhat surprising.

Here is a link to the batteries I have been using in 325P2 for a couple months now. Pretty powerful if you ask me!

Also, EBL routinely overrates the capacity of their cells.
They claim their NiMH AAs have a capacity of 2800mAh.
The highest capacity current NiMH technology is capable of is 2700mAh, e.g. the expensive Powerex brand has this capacity but lack the low self-discharge rate of regular Eneloops.
EBL 2800mAh AAs in actuality have a capacity of around 2500mAh.
I bought 4 EBL NiMH D cells which have a stated capacity of 10,000 mAh.
Checking them in my smart charger using the discharge function revealed their maximum capacity to be around 7,500mAh.
For comparison, I also bought four of the Amazon Basic Brand NiMH D cells (for around the same price as the EBL D cells) which also have a stated capacity of 10,000mAh.
Checking their capacity via the discharge mode in my smart charger revealed a true capacity of around 11,500mAh.
Amazon was actually underrating their D cells' capacity!
