Don’t worry about the initial charge. Just keep them charged. I charge my 2500mAH cells at 500 – 1000 mA rate. IF, you discharge your cells all the way just make sure you charge them right away when you get home.
I understand the Eneloop 1500 does not mean 1500 mAH . I am led to believe it means they can go through 1500 charge cycles ( according to Sanyo).jeffkruse wrote:Why are you using 1500mAH batteries?

Just make sure you charge them every time you use them and try not to discharge them all the way. You will like them so much you will find you need more. You can get the XX’s then and only use them in your cave light.
