Judging from the original link (seems very thorough comparison of=20
various cells) posted by C.C which I checked out (eneloop 2000mAh=20
attached) - looks like the eneloop managed 10A for around 9.4 mins,=20
initially at around 1.1V dropping to 1V but holding there well. Seemed=20
to be one of the best performance wise anyway - many others managed <5A .
Looking at the graphs was very informative, just the info I would be=20
looking for if selecting a cell (various V/Ah curves at different=20
discharge rates from around 0.5A to 10A or wherever the battery fails to=20
sustain voltage - as M.W notes the resistance is not completely linear,=20
looks to get to a certain point then drop rapidly with NiMh)
The above method suggested would seem a simple way to determine this=20
reasonably accurately though, shouldn't be too hard (with a bit of c.s=20
applied) It's probably what I would do.
