I got my maha c-9000 and imedions today. The imedions are 2100mah. I put them in the charger on the break in mode as per all the literature I've read on the subject.

Now, 863 min later, they are at 2729 mah?! This shouldn't be happening, right?

I thought they fixed this issue a while ago.

Edit: It appears that when using the break-in mode it charges to 1.6 times the capacity of the charger. http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=145727

I guess that solves that :) Good thing I didn't unplug it yet.

Yea itll go higher that the capacity youve set during a break-in. Thats part of the "breaking in".

Update: in case anyone cares, I got these MAH readings from my maha charger for the 8 imedion batteries, after break-in.

2046
2050
2072

They were supposed to be 2100 MAH. Not unhappy, but not thrilled that they are all below. Actually, I read somewhere that it takes a few cycles for them to get to peak performance, so they might go up. I am charging my 8 eneloops now.
