This test was originally intended to be more extensive, including 45 XOs between set A and set B, and testing the effects of DCON mode. However, due to an error in the test procedure not all of this data was abled to be gathered. We used the test as an opportunity to gather more data bout the nickel metal hydride batteries, using XOs 16 to 25 from the A set. Again, the NMH batteries displayed both general lower performance when compared to lithium, as well as several extremely short durations.

This test used the first 20 XOs set up in group A. The test was intended to compare the effectiveness of the lithium batteries vs. the nickel metal hydride batteries, as well as the effect of having the backlight on or off. The nickel metal hydride batteries were found to have major problems - most of them died within half an hour of the XOs being unplugged, and the few that lasted longer than that still had a shorter duration than most of the lithium batteries.

This test also used the first 20 XOs set up in set A and followed the same basic format as the test from 7/13, except that the first 10 XOs had their backlight turned off for this test rather than the last 20. Again, the nickel metal hydride batteries experienced had shorter lifespans, though far fewer of them died within minutes this time around. When functioning properly, the nickel batteries seemed to last about an hour shorter than the lithium batteries.

This test also used the first 20 XOs in set A and followed the same format as the first test. In this test, none of the nickel metal hydride batteries had an extremely short lifespan as was the case in the first two. However, average performance among both lithium and nickel metal hydride batteries was down significantly, with several of the lithium batteries dipping below four hours of charge time (they usually average 5 or more).
