Just thought I'd share some long term data for these $1.30 NiMH AA's for those who might be wondering.
Back in 2011 I bought 4 of the Turnigy 2200 mAh LSD AA's to pad out an order from HK. I did an analyze cycle on my Powerex MH-C9000 for each of them which confirmed they were correctly rated at 2200 (all 4 were within 100mAh of 2200 which is good enough for me!).
I have since bought more and have been using them in wireless keyboards, mice, cordless phones etc, but I left 2 from that original batch sitting on the shelf untouched since that first analyze cycle in 2011.
Its been 20 months since then so I figured it was time to discharge one of them to see what capacity was left. 1765 mAh was the answer. A full charge and discharge also showed it still has 2150 mAh of capacity after sitting fully charged for those 20 months
I'll leave that last 1 sitting on the shelf for another year or so and then update this thread.
IMHO they compare pretty well with the eneloops from Sanyo (which I also have a packet of) but at a much better price.
EDIT: I've just noticed HK has 2400's for $1.59... I've got the 2200's that are $1.29
