·        About iPowerUS

 is a brand name of Pacific Group for marketing rechargeable batteries and all related products in the U.S.  Pacific Group is a large conglomerate with manufacturing facilities located throughout Asia.  Its products includes Power Cable, High Voltage Electric Construction, Signal Wires, Fiber Optic Cable, Trans-Oceanic Cable Construction, Satellite TV, Wide-Band Cable Systems, Satellite Communications, GSM Wireless Network, Cell Phone Design & Manufacturer, Rechargeable Battery Manufacturer and many other high tech products and industries.  

Pacific Energytech has a fully automatic battery manufacturing plant, which is a joint venture of Pacific Group with Japan.  It is the first and only completely human-less fully automatic manufacturing facility in the world.  The recently introduced high capacity lithium cell phones battery for the Sony Ericsson future model T100, T200, T300 and T600 are manufactured by Pacific Energytech and Mega Cycle. IPowerUS AA NiMH 2100mAh Digital Camera Battery is manufactured by Mega Cycle, which is a subsidiary of Pacific Energytech in China.

·        Ultra High Capacity – New developed high tech Lithium Ion cell technology

iPowerUS AA Ni-MH 2100mAh Digital Camera Battery is manufactured by Mega Cycle, which is a subsidiary of Pacific Engergytech in China.  The 2100mAh NiMH is currently the highest capacity AA on the market.  It is developed by using Pacific Engerytech’s high tech Lithium ion cell technology by producing ultra-thin Positive & Negative electrodes and separators, so that more electrodes can be rolled and packed inside the small AA sized cell, therefore, producing the higher capacity AA NiMH battery. 

·        More Safety Features Added

There are also many added safety features inside this high tech battery.  Other than the standard Safety Vent, a Safety Insulator is added to provide shock protection in order to prevent a short in case the battery is dropped in use or during shipping.  There is also a Temperature Protector, which can prevent any leakage or explosion caused by a short from an electrical appliance.  A special alkaline-based Low Corrosion Electrolyte is used so that even if it comes in contact with the human skin, it will not cause burn or damage to the skin immediately.  

·        Specifically Designed For Use with Digital Camera

iPowerUS AA Ni-MH 2100mAh Battery is the world’s only rechargeable battery specifically designed for use with the digital camera.  Its design is different from the general type NiMH battery on the market today.  The digital camera uses less energy in the standby or preview mode, but uses more energy during picture taking or flash mode.  Therefore, it is designed to use 0.2C (lower energy) for the preview mode and 0.5C (higher energy) for picture taking or flash mode.  This is why it will last longer than other general type battery in the digital camera.  Some users have reported taking 490 pictures each charge using a Nikon 990 or lasted more than 4 hours using Nikon Coolpix 5700 taking pictures continuously.  The shelf life is also longer and it can retain energy longer than other general type NiMH battery. 

Both the charging rate and discharge rate of the iPowerUS AA NiMH Digital Camera Battery is between 0.2C ~ 0.5C.  At 0.2C discharge rate, the capacity is at 2100mAh, at 0.5C discharge rate, the capacity is around 2010mAh.  Two special Fast Smart Chargers FC-301 (2 channel) and FC-501 (4 channel) are designed using the negative delta V technology so that they will charge the high capacity NiMH batteries to the most optimal level.

·        Retain Energy Longer and Extra Long Shelf Life

One thing that is common to all types of rechargeable batteries is called “self discharge” where the cell actually loses power as it sit after being recharged.  Shelf life of most NiMH rechargeable batteries is 3 to 6 months.  IPowerUS AA NiMH 2100mAh lasts up to twice as long as other ordinary NiMH rechargeable batteries.

Under normal usage, iPowerUS AA Ni-MH 2100mAh Battery can be used without discharge.  30 days after charging, it will retain a voltage of 1.2V.  180 days after charging, it still can retain a voltage of over 1.0V, this retention period is longer than most general type NiMH battery on the market today.
