Talk:Low self-discharge NiMH battery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Test results

CandlePower Forums seems like the best source of detailed technical discussions.

Forums are never reliable sources, and should not be used for references.--Lester 11:13, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
If you are able to find better sources of more detailed, more reliable, independent test information about LSD batteries, please do share them with the rest of us! Manufacturer-furnished info is obviously potentially biased.-69.87.202.164 (talk) 22:57, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Article is an advertisement, and should be deleted

Any reasons why this article should not be deleted? I think it should be deleted because:

  • It serves only as an advertisement for a Sanyo brandname
  • It doesn't carry information that's not also in Sanyo's advertising
  • The brand is non-notable (it's difficult to find newspaper coverage of it, despite Sanyo's own claims that it's "revolutionary")
  • It's notable that a new battery "separator" has enabled longer life in NiMH batteries, but that can be covered in the Nickel_metal_hydride_battery#Low_Self_Discharge_Batteries article.
  • We don't need an article to cover Sanyo's specific brand of this category of battery, as there are other brands that are the same.

I created this discussion to allow a bit more than 5 days of debate, which happens if it is marked for deletion. Thanks, --Lester 00:33, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

DO NOT DELETE

Please improve the article, don't delete it. There are very few primary makers of LSD NiMH batteries, and Sanyo may be the foremost. Eneloop is their primary badge. Therefore, Eneloop is an important aspect of NiMH. But NiMH is such a big complex topic that these details cannot be adequately covered in that article. LSD batteries are sold as "pre-charged, ready-to-use", but it is clear that many factors influence how much charge they actually have when purchased -- this should be thoroughly explored somewhere in WP.

  • It contains info not in any Sanyo advertising. If the tone is wrong, fix it.
  • The brand is notable, as described above.
  • All LSD NiMH batteries are not necessarily the same. Some would claim these are better. We come together here to try to learn the truth of such detailed claims.

There are no newspaper articles or notable technical articles about Eneloop, and nothing to state why Eneloop is different from other Low-Self-Discharge NiMH batteries. Forums can't be used as sources. It seems Eneloop is merely a brand-name of Sanyo, and there is nothing notable that sets the technology of Eneloop batteries apart from other LSD-NiMH batteries. --Lester 21:27, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
