Hmmm -- this I gotta see.
Just now I took two brand-new alkaline AAs (Fry's Electronics brand) out of the package. I'm discharging one of them in a West Mountain Radio CBA II computerized battery analyzer. It showed 1.65 volts with no load. I'm discharging it at 0.5 amperes, and I have set the cutoff voltage at 0.8 volts, after which it will be pretty dead. Currently it's showing 1.48 volts under load.
I'll report back on the bounce tests of the one I'm discharging and the one I'm not.
As a bonus I'll know the capacity of these fairly inexpensive AAs that Fry's sells.
